Pitch up tendencies under power to my understanding don’t make it an unstable airframe. If you stall, cut power, let go of the controls and the plane responds with a recoverable dive, it’s aerodynamically stable.

Some airplanes can’t be (reliably) recovered from stall, that’s another issue altogether.

That's great at FL30. For lower altitude stalls, cutting the power isn't an option.
