My understanding is that Cirrus actively encourage chute deployment, and actively discourage attempting a forced landing.
In the POH, or just as a general statement? I doubt the former as it might expose them to major liability if the BRS where to malfunction while other options, such as a dead stick landing in a nearby suitable field, were available.
All I know for sure is that they mandate use of the BRS in case of an inadvertent spin (and of course forbid spinning it on purpose!) as it was a certification requirement.
