The FAA have long had "departure stalls" as part of their approach to flying training.
In the UK there have been a number of inadvertant full power stalls that have had fatal results.
By all means limit the requirement for any evaluation of a pilots skills to recognition and recovery at the incipient stage but all pilots should have seen an instructors demonstration taken right into the stall if only to show the dramatic result.
In any case when the angle of attack is reduced to less than the stalling angle any further drama stops instantly and normal flight can be resumed.
