It would but I'm not sure any commercial operator does. There are articles suggesting that small UAVs might use SADS because of the difficulty of producing good sensors suitable for the smaller aircraft.

The off-topic part is that there is little overlap between anti-tail strike systems and synthetic AoA and airspeed. The attitude sensor is past the 90th year since its invention.
