Cirrus... is it time for certification review?

Different aircraft designs may recover differently.
ie... a long wing aircraft may require use of ailerons.

Ok, fair enough. But if you practice in an aircraft whose technique is
sufficiently similar to that of the target aircraft, you should be fine.

But, how practical is this? Should one practice spin recovery in an SR20
so that you can feel comfortable in an SR22? ;-)

I can tell you there is little similarity between how the planes I've
flown stall or spin, though they are all basic SEL.

But all respond to the same technique of spin *recovery*, otherwise they
would not have been certified. (Only true for newer airplanes, obviously.)

They all respond to different degrees to the same technique of spin
avoidance, but some have a lot more rudder or aileron authority than
others, and require different inputs after entry into a spin. At question
is what inputs are necessary to recover from a spin in a Cirrus?

I really don't know, but believe that you are correct.
