Don't be too concerned - Same applies at initial stick shaker activation during GPWS procedure - Is the procedure, for your best interest, to push all the way or simply maintain on the edge of it if necessary ?

Critical scenarios for a stall situation have more chances to develop in one try to get over an obstacle or to abusively try to extend a glide or over bank to align, none was applicable to the Hudson as Sully took very early on that sensible decision to go there for that unobstructed and 'unlimited runway'.
