Default P38 airplane-why isn't this configuration used anymore?

In theory, it's safer than other twins because when one engine
quits the pilot doesn't have to counteract the yaw produced by the
asymmetric thrust.


What about P factor? Depending on which one quits and if they spin
the same direction and so on...
