It will never stall an aeroplane as long as there is sufficient power available. With 5° pitch maintained, aeroplane climbs, power drops, AoA goes up until level-off at 5° alpha is achieved. Any aeroplane.
It sure brings you to the stall warning. That's flying on the edge with no necessity. What's the point when usual pitch and thrust for cruise is the answer.
Airbus has it wrong on that one, even its chief pilot says differently now.
