Evo,
Wouldn't worry too much about a stall in a steep turn.
A stall at a high wing loading is very dangerous, and is deffinately something to worry about! OK, so it is huch harder to get the aircraft to that point, and there are more obvious warning signs (like aching arms pulling hard on the controls), but the reaction of the aircraft will be very rapid.

In the fireflies I flew during my PPL training, stalling at a high AoB resulted in an incipient spin - in otherwords a very rapid roll rate. Simple to get out of at that stage - relax backpressure straight away - but would scare the willies out of anyone who hadn't experienced it before and couldn't identify immediately what ws happening. And as I remember it, I didn't cover incipient spins in my PPL...
