Pitch would have to be decreased, not increased, to maintain AOA and speed stability. That means that altitude is sacrificed.

If you want to maintain altitude in a bank, total lift is increased (to maintain a constant vertical lift component) therefore AOA is increased.

If you want to bank, you have to choose between giving up altitude or stall margin. You can't keep both.
