Part of me wonders just how much value it would add to have an alarm
go off just when someone is under stress turning to final at low
altitude where it's causing them to try to skid the ship around.

I'd be stating the obvious that pilots should be better trained to not
get themselves into such situations to begin with.

Well, us powered jockies have an advantage over glider jockies...if the
approach is crappy, add power and go around and give it another go (as
many times as necessary to get it right. Until we ourselves become
glider pilots after too many go arounds!)
