Applying rudder for any purpose other than ensuring (near) zero sideslip, increases drag, and increases the risk of spin. If anything it delays your ability to safely use aileron, not brings it quicker.
Unstalling the wing with elevator gives you an unstalled condition, and thus allows you to use aileron.
But there is seldom a good reason to hurry to lift the wing. It's the stalled condition that can give you problems; unstalled, a bank angle is just a bank angle. The 20-30 degrees which is the worst you should see in most aeroplanes after a stall has a trivial effect on stall speed, and you can still climb with it - so sort the bank angle out once the wing is unstalled, and ideally the aeroplane is level or climbing - but not earlier because you don't need to, and applying aileron at too high an AoA can also lead to a spin entry.
