Stall did occur at ~180 -190 kts IAS. That is around M0,55.
That is a huuuuge way from M0,8 or 0,82 from a kinetic energy perspective.
So even at 84% you're lightyears awy from a stall.
It takes a significant climb to shed that energy. Thrust variation (short of a shut-down) has much less immediate impact on kinetic energy than a climb. If simply keeping altitude you have ample time to sort things out.

Edit: Stall warning would come on earler especially in Alt Law but with a constant altitude it should come up somewhere around 230 kts (M0,65 - 0,7)
