sn't it better to touch down at minimum flying speed with nose
up and about to stall?

It is always better to fly the aircraft under full control at the speed
determined by load and conditions. Trying to fly at stickshaker speed in
order to reduce damage to the aircraft is far more dangerous.

Or to look at it from another point of view, when in doubt get out.
