As you can't just bend the blade that's actually touching the ground, it's either all or none.
In case of dead engine belly land, the prop could stay undamanged, the blade damaged IRL is not seen from cockpit and would just protrude ground in F2 mode.

Another feature would be in-flight prop damage, where the propeller could get unbalanced and induce vibration at higher RPM.
This could be done with a damage texture so the pilot knows why the effect is produced.
Just saw it on NG-TV. The story of the Lockheed Electra which lost No.4 Prop in flight.

Edit.:

This accident does not show up in this list.
Eventually made up.
