Another (type-dependant) problem with stalls is that they can go wrong. Ok, so a PA28 is unlikely to bite you in the stall... but the Europa can be vicious if you don't have enough left rudder to account for the lack of prop-wash.... don't ask me how I know that!
As for what instructors teach... well, I wasn't taught anything. I was flying over suburban metropolitan Phoenix at night at 1000' agl when I did my night qualification, with nowhere to land except for a couple of dark areas that marked parks - not that I'm recommending that, just saying it's what I did. Don't know about instructors other than mine, but I'd guess that if they teach anything, it'll depend on where you're located, as we've already discussed. As for doing PFLs at night, I definitely wouldn't want to do this - don't know if any instructors routinely teach it or not, but I'd be surprised. All it takes is one power line which you didn't see.....
