I 'spect if one rolled in full nose down manual trim for recovery, one would have a tiger-by-the-tail when and if the stall broke at some 30 or so degrees nose low and accelerating with a limiting 2.5 g available.
I don't think so. 30° nose down pulling at not even 2g starting at say 150KIAS with no power would probably result in another stall, not a wing-ripping-off mega overspeed... The drag at 200KIAS pulling the equivalent of a 60° bank turn is going to require a fair bit of power. You will obviously have to trim back but it wouldn't be a problem in my view.
