I would be very surprised if you would not have sufficient hydraulic power for partial flight controls down to approach speed of about 130-140 kts. The CFM engines on the 737 supplied this for a few glide approaches in the early days! You might lose elevator authority during flap extension, but if the minimum was about 280kts, you effectively have an unflyable aeroplane in the event of total engine failure!
