Otherwise, I use the ailerons to keep the wings level, and use the rudder to keep the ball in the middle because yaw during a stall is potentially bad news
This is also fine in my Rallye where I can use the ailerons even when completely stalled and falling with style. However the input of aileron on some types can increase the stall to one wing (the down aileron side) due to the increased AoA on that wing and so likely if you tried to pick up a wing this way in some aeroplanes the aircraft would just roll more towards the wing-down side and you may well depart into a spin. I know you know this but I'm pointing it out for the benefit of the audience
