True, but only a few knots above in the Cessna's I've flown 150 - 182.

Per certification rules, the stall warning must occur AT LEAST 5 knots prior
to stall. In my experience, it commonly occurs with an even greater margin.

If you keep smoothly pulling back the yoke, the airspeed will bleed into
stall territory very shortly after you get a full stall horn.

No, it won't. The airplane will settle onto the runway before you stall.
You have to move the yoke pretty sharply to keep lift equal to weight at
that airspeed.
