In normal flight, I'd agree, but for diagnosis and recovery once stalled, is the simple binary warning/shaker (or not) enough ?

If we assume that everyone recovers promptly (and without getting into a worse secondary stall) at approach-to-stall, then again, there would be no need - but recent history shows that that is a fatally bad assumption.
