If this aircraft cannot be recovered from a spin except by pulling the chute then it is seriously badly designed
As has been posted on here many times, a full programme of standard spin recovery testing was part of the EASA certification of the SR series.

The mindset of "pull the chute at the first sign of trouble reflects a rubbish training regime
The training regime does NOT reflect that.

It DOES integrate the chute into emergencies handling and encourages it's use based on the unarguable statistics of its success in saving peoples lives: again, as has been posted here many times, there have been far to many people killed with a perfectly good chute undeployed behind them.
