Anyway, to my point, the engine-catching-fire-again-thingy is a problem in the stock Il-2. The only way to extinguish a fire totally is with a fire extinguisher. I don't think fuel flow to engine is modeled (neg G cutout is more of an effect than calculation of fuel flow). Magnetos have no effect in stock Il-2 (mag 1, mag2) except to shut off the engine. However in real life one doesn't ever turn off the engine by turning the mags. They are a residual feature from the original Il-2 which had some more complex engine management options.

I only disagree with one point here and it is a minute one at that. The magnetos are infact modelled to have some effect in game. I fly a 110 primarily and when I feel like going through the process for "immersion
reasons I'll do a short pre-flight check which includes testing magnetos. If you throttle up 80% or full throttle whatever, then switch magnetos from 1+2 to 2 to 1 you will see the rpm dip when you select a single magneto versus the two.
This has no relevance to the OP question as if your on fire that's it. Make it back to friendly line and bail before you have a structural failure or explode, which I case in a sense is still structural failure.
