I must respectfully disagree - the load being carried by the wing is
at least as important as the AoA.

I'm afraid that turns out not to be the case.

Stalling depends on the AoA, and only the AoA (Reynolds number effects
aside).

The amount of lift generated depends only on the AoA and the airspeed.

The amount of lift necessary to support the aircraft against an
acceleration of 1 gravity depends on the load being carried. For each
load there is a minimum airspeed below which the amount of lift
necessary to support that load against gravity can not be generated.
But if you don't insist on trying to support the load against gravity
(that is, trying to increase the AoA until sufficient lift is generated,
thus stalling the wing) then you can be in perfect control and not
stalled at as low an airspeed as you like.

Which brings us back to: stalling of a wing is connected to the AoA,
nothing else.
