A pilot needs to be able to recognize an impending stall in any plane he is flying. 

I concur.  

However, the question becomes the MEANS by which he knows a stall is impending.  One never deep stalls a  swept wing  airplane.  Too dangerous with possible tip stall causing a roll.  However, the pilot of a swept wing airplane knows of impending stall by means of a stall warning device.  If you have a stall warning device that works and makes lots of noise so that it cannot be ignored, then you do not need a wing burble or control wiggle or shake to warn you.  You have already been warned. 

One can make a strong case that you need redundant stall warning means.  On a  Cessna or Piper it is achieved by the stall warning horn followed by the burble you feel on the controls or in the seat of your pants.  If the burble is not adequate by itself (which it may not be on a Lancair,  depending on ball position and such), then you should have two layers of  warning by another means.  The  Chelton stall warning combined with the AOA indicator meet this requirement in my opinion.  

But as with any high performance airplane, one must keep one eye firmly on the instruments while in the pattern, IMHO.  I like having three levels of safety with my eyeball on the instruments being the first.
