Total BS! I have many many hours racked up at high bank angles in narrow core thermals, some quite close to the ground, and many very close to stall speed. I'm not dead yet. The airpane doesn't know how close to the ground it is and, absent significant wind gradient, it performs just the same at 500 ft as at 5,000 ft.
I also have no concern at all using 45 degree bank in either of the SEP I own and fly. If the yaw string or ball is centered there is no hazard with steep bank angles. If you can't keep the yaw string or ball centered you are dangerous at any altitude and any bank angle with or without an engine.
