That's the reason we stopped spinning in the PPL course, and I'm not sure there's any strong evidence we should reverse that either.

The routine use of barely aerobatic aeroplanes in instructor courses, without use of parachutes, is hardly setting a good example. The lack of spinning in CPL courses on the other hand is even less defensible, so the inclusion of UPRT in the integrated CPL, done well (which presumably means including incipient spins), has to be a step in the right direction. But FFS, not in C152s - there are aeroplanes actually designed for this sort of flying, and they usually fly with parachutes fitted as well.
