With an automatic degrade (AB) into an unfamiliar mode, the pilots are at a disadvantage, as the AB flies diferently, and must be controlled with a different protocol.
Stall entry can be completely benign (AB) as the stability "accomodates" departure, instead of emphasizing it, in the interest of notifying the crew that the AC has departed....
What remains in reality is that emergency procedures are almost never needed, so much of the apparent disadvantages are moot.
Except when they're not?
This, on the other hand, is a real problem.
The other real problem is that stall warning stopped when CAS went under 60kt. This design, I don't know if it has been corrected since, is completely against regulations.
