Read transport jet certification standards. They do test to a full side slip and rapidly release the rudder. It's the opposite rudder (doublet) immediately after that to a sideslip in the other direction that steps outside of the 'certified' envelope.

Please do not take that as an endorsement of doing sideslips. Just explaining the certification process.
