Jay, good observation here but Al is still wrong. As you probably
remember from training you have primary and secondary instruments for
climbs, turns, decents, etc. To claim to be able to replace any of
these with your superior senses is not correct and a bad habit.

In normal instrument flight, pilots are trained to ignore what their body is
telling them.

Exactly. As you move up in the approach categories this becomes more
important because you have much less time between being on course and
a full scale deflection. On a A3 Hud you even initiate the flare by a
prompt on the combiner. Other than a little bit of control feedback
seat of the pants is pretty much out the window.
