Yes. No matter what the treadmill is doing down there, there is no stress on the engine.

To understand that, in a black hole situation, yes the starship won't move, since the gravitational pull is on the entire aircraft, engine and all. The starship won't escape the black hole, but also won't fall in (as long as he keeps his thrusters on, and has fuel)

In this example the resistance is on the wheels alone (from the spinning treadmill), not on the engines. It will take off like nothing happened. Only the wheels will be spinning faster than normal.
