True, and that's usually just the first warning tone. I've said it
before but you can't get second tone in a 172 with wheels on the
ground without the tail touching... but we've thrashed this out
before. The problem, as I see it, is that aiming to land in a stalled
condition everything had better be perfect as you have no reserves.
You can't lift a wing if your x-wind control is a bit off or pull
back if a wind shadow hits -never mind the round out being close to
stall with crossed controls in a xwind ...

Not so. There are plenty of airplanes that are normally landed at or close
to the stall. Many taildraggers are arranged so that three point is
achieved at the critical angle of attack or beyond, mainly to reduce
landing roll. as long as you don't try to descend in this attitude it's not
a problem
