No, I don't think so. Sorry but no human can recognize the motor failure happened, process it in your brain, switch flight modes, and take "evasive actions" to stabilize it in the fraction of a second it takes for a quad to tumble on motor failure. In order for the pilot to even recognize it, the thing is already keeling over. That's absurd. The flight controller doing it without human input, MAYBE, depending on a lot of factors. Most of those factors are only perfect in lab or demo, like being perfectly balanced with no payload. But more than likely, it's not going to work using today's tech in a real word practical scenario. The only really stable in flight motor failures I've ever seen require 6+ motors.
A gust of wind is mostly lateral force, applied evenly across one side of the aircraft frame. Not a vertical force pulling one corner down (gravity) and another vertical force pulling the opposite corner up (thrust), all from the far end of a lever (the arm) giving that force mechanical advantage. Wind is not even remotely close to the forces and responses that are in play with a motor/prop failure. That is not an assumption, that is just physics.
