In the Sim, yes.

We have done exercises pulling the aircraft into deep stall from initial stick shaker, while trimming back continuously (otherwise it’s hard to get deep stall due to increased elevator feel force - B737NG not MAX). Then having to be trimming forward again during recovery. I’ve never noticed a difficulty with this.

But not saying for one moment that the Captain in this event was not having a problem (I was the one who raised the possibility!). My stick shaker was happening at stall speed (150-ish kt), not 325 kt, and it was a Sim.
