Autopilot bank limit is often 25 degrees but Ops Specs always been 30 degrees for the carriers I've flown for.

"Stall protection limits"? Without knowing the airspeed, and the G loading being applied, it's impossible to know how close they are to any stall limits. Perfect example is a barrel roll, bank angles all over the place but at one G it's a very gentle manuever and never approaches any stall speeds, as the Boeing 707 pilot showed years ago...
