"Stall Warning on Takeoff" is an A320 Memory Drill, and taking the power off I cannot recall as part of the drill In fact, the complete opposite is the case

Agreed, but then so would a stick pusher be inconvenient at that point in the flight - but that did not stop stick pushers being added to aircraft. And the last stick pusher I had was quite forceful - ten kilos of push perhaps? Anyway, it was nearly capable of taking the stick out of your hands if you were relaxed.

Likewise the stick shaker which I had go off on rotation, that can be disconcerting too (especially on a 2,000m runway). Am I at the right speed?? Gets the ticker ticking.

Besides, it is not beyond the ken of Airbus engineers, to put a 2,000 ft altitude limitation on the proposed power-reduction-at-stall protocol.
