Straw man argument. It is supposed to be applied until QRH is brought out and correct values for weight found and set. If it takes five minutes of fumbling, it won't kill you in this five minutes. Or until the fuel runs out but that doesn't mean it should be applied indefinitely.
Typical Clandestino stuff here :
I write how illusionary it is to pretend to maintain indefinitely a 5 deg pitch in altitude but you find 5 reasons to state I’m wrong but now you feel the need to precise it is only for the necessary time to get the QRH out …
How long do you think it takes at CLB thrust from FL350 200T before the AoA matches the 5 deg given to the pitch ?
I have no precise idea just a guess it would not take much but I’m certainly not ready to test and validate or not your theory.

It's attempt at dumbing down the procedure to unachieavable level, no matter if it proposed by Airbus or some PPRuNer. Applying such a procedure for low level approach to stall can easily result in unnecessary deaths and damage to property.
No pprune in that, and not only Airbus.
And on the contrary, to not apply that procedure for low level has proved to be deadly, but then the procedure was not published yet …
