The Cirrus pilot doesn't know how to slip ?

The 1700-fpm is _with the parachute deployed_, and thus has nothing to do with
normal flight.

You said:

"I read yesterday that the descent rate of a Cirrus with the parachute
deployed is around 1700 fpm, far more than a competent pilot could
manage by actually flying the aircraft."

In short, you directly said that a competent pilot flying the aircraft
could not come anywhere close to 1700fpm. This is blatantly wrong.

Go on, dodge, I know it's all you can do.
