The other advantage of keeping the fuselage more level is that it provides
more ground clearance at the tail, so you can increase the AoA (and fly
slower) while still maintaining pilot view and sufficient tail clearance.

Yes...that makes sense, perhaps they designed the a/c for very
high speed flight by having the AoI very low to reduce drag but
needed to increase the Aoi for landing to, as you say, allow
'eventless' landings...
