I don't really see any merit in flaring the aircraft 'for the sake of restoring Rrpm' unless you've identified that Nr is low. In that case I would say fine get it back as a matter of priority by trading off some speed if necessary.
You've got my vote Oggers.
Sincerely speaking, in a real life scenario with a single, once you've implemented rrpm preservation (which is pretty much an instantaneous response), the only thing one is concerned with is identifying a suitable touchdown spot and lining-up for it.
In craft such as the Angry Bumble Bee (H500) rrpm would build rapidly and most D or F models I have flown would overspeed at the drop of a hat if one didn't re-introduce pitch on the way down.
