What's wrong with just shutting the engine down before pulling
the ripcord?

Windmilling? Now if you had a full feathering prop, and the time
to wind it down it might work. There is still a chance of getting
the lines tangled in the prop even if it isn't rotating.

If you are going to go to the trouble of figuring out a way to eject the
engine I'd think you could come up with a prop brake to stop the thing.

While I'm not a fan of chutes and would hardly redesign an already well
designed plane to install one aren't there ULs in the pusher configuration
that have them installed?
