Negative.
Alpha Max is the limit Airbus gave to its protective system, and they were not fool enough to put that limit on the edge.
If they wanted it on the edge they would have put Alpha Max at Alpha Stall where the lift coefficient is the highest.

For the tailwind ... I don't see where you're going ...
