What I am doing here is being pedantic to correct a misconception that stall and landing are connected as that tunnel visions the idea of landing into something which is not totally correct.
It also reduces the idea of other landing techniques in the future for aircraft pilots may fly.
Yes obviously light aircraft are different and in most situations you need to land as slow as possible for the shortest stopping distance.
Aircraft which are short coupled ie nose to mains will not tolerate a high speed landing as will long coupled aircraft for the reasons you state.
A long coupled aircraft only requires a tiny pitch change to take the nosewheel well clear.
But as stated I am making a point to rectify a misconception no more
