Please accept my apologies for misreading your post. I think we also agree that five degrees nose-up is not the optimum response to UAS at FL350.

P.S. Rereading your post caused me to wonder what condition would result from pitching up to 5 degrees. I think that in still air the airplane would climb until it is in 1 g level flight with pitch attitude and AoA equal to 5 degrees. Assuming constant total energy, that would be at FL375, 222 kCAS, M=0.7. The stall warning threshold in that condition is 5.7 degrees.
