“Nearest suitable.” Lots of factors there. Not just DME. As for the F/As and the Brace calls; as the CAPT, I would’ve briefed them to prepare for an evacuation (due to severely damaged engine), which drives them to a checklist that requires the Brace Brace call.

My reference to a raven and "nevermore" was a warning to anyone not wanting to shut down an engine because of a little birdie. Not a good idea. I’m all for PIC emergency authority and using experience, systems knowledge and the situation to assist, but not shutting down an engine when called for can lead to a worse outcome.

Note I specially stated vibration within limits not outside of it....

Yeah, I heard also they were near TOD point when it occurred. If so, that would reduce the number of decisions to be made. Without knowing all the details, seemed to turn out fine by me.
Off to Chucks for a few strong Mai-Tai’s.

The Feds used to be anal about diverting to nearest etops alternate. In this case it was likely ITO. They may have some "splainin" to do but in ge end I think a non event..after the FAA is done crowing.
Had the similar issue with a GE engine on an etops divert. We landed in EWR. Faa wanted to know why we continued to EWR and passed "suitable airports".
After a couple back and forths, issue dropped.
