You mean the AI or the TC, presumably? Spotting a roll on the HSI is going to take a good while longer
Hmm, the original comment made me wonder, and the response confirmed my concern.

I think this is being over-cooked.
It depends.

In the approach phase the 22 takes a lot more slowing down compard with most types and even the majority of twins where the U/C can be dumped to get rid of energy. In the 22 the flap limiting speed is reasonably high and it is easy to end up hot and high.

I fly a few types and the SR22 is more likely to give me 30 degrees of bank without my sensing it than any other aircraft I fly.
Hmm, what that is all about I have no idea. How big do you want the AI or, even the screen to be.

being easy to over-control.
I understand your comment, but if anything I find the opposite. On one particulary turbulent crosswind approach in conditions I found quite unpleasant I found I didnt have enough aileron authority never mind enough to over control. Too many hours on more aerobatic aircraft perhaps.
