What makes you think that the pilot who gets too slow in a shallow bank
won't do the exact same thing in a steep bank? Not enough elevator
authority? Maybe in a training ship, and then negative transfer to
a more controllable faster glass one?

I suggest the elevator authority isn't any greater on a faster glass
ship because there is no need for it. My experiences in a Blanik L13,
Ka-6e, Libelle h301, Std Cirrus, ASW 20C, and an ASH 26 E were the same:
they were much harder to stall at 30-35 degrees than 10 or 15, and I
couldn't stall them above 45 degrees. This is in coordinated circling
flight.
