So - you have attitude indications, and you have thrust. Independent of all of the other stuff that’s trying to lead you astray and confuse you. Including the AOA inputs.

If I misread what you meant by “controlled”. Then disregard
Yes but you are discussing inputs to control. Read the darn instruments and respond and fly the aircraft. Fair.

The issue here though surely isn't one of control, it's one of command.

If you don't have command of the aircraft, because the automation is overriding your inputs, then regaining command precedes regaining control.
