In clean configuration Vls=1.28VS so you should be fine with up to 52° of bank, alpha prot coming in before that anyway.

Though during my type rating the instructor definitely managed (one way or another) to make us trigger alpha floor after starting a turn for an approach with speed managed at green dot.
During type rating we give a demo of low energy warning on approach "Speed Speed". That is done by doing level turn and reducing thrust. If continued in this state can trigger alpha floor. No surprise.
