There has to be a first time for everything and this is the first occasion I have found myself at odds with one of your posts. The stick is the right way to control the rate of speed reduction in a stall.
I suspect your comments hark back to the common tendency to feel one has to control
flightpath during a stall. This is not so. Control of rate of change of angle of attack is what matters which is why the flight path should be ignored. If the stick is used to control speed (AOA) you can pause the process for instructional reasons (all the good ones you mention) at any point in the process.
Don't get me wrong, I agree totally with your objectives - just differ on how they are best achieved
