When I started my transition training for the 360, I asked if we'd be doing any stalls, to which the instructor said, "not with 2 ppl in the plane, no." He was concerned that as the CG progressed towards the aft end of the envelope, it would be less advisable to do them.  "Keep your speeds up, don't stall," was the message I was getting, loud and clear.  Having read many accident reports on 360's before buying the plane, I knew this to be true.

So, after 30-35 hours of flying it solo, I decided it was time to find out the stall speed for my airplane, with an average fuel load and passenger load (ie. me).  Right on 60kias, apparently. I did 3 of 'em to get a feel for the warning signs, then called it a day.

As with any other airplane I've flown, you have to be asleep at the wheel to stall it in the pattern. I keep it at > 90kts in the pattern, then 80 on final.

The only time it can get dicey is if it's gusty on short final, and you hit a downdraft. The combination of those two can eat up a generous buffer of energy pretty quickly.  For those reasons, when it's gusty or otherwise dodgy, I add MORE than half the gust factor. Yes, I end up with more airspeed than normal, and the float is a little longer, but at the same time, in higher winds, the corresponding groundspeed is reduced, which keeps the landing distance manageable.

When I first started doing patterns in the 360, I was religious about maintaining a vigil watch on the airspeed indicator.  Now that I know the typical power and stick positions, I never mind myself more than a few knots away from where I want to be at any given time after passing abeam the numbers. 

ANY time you need to tighten and pull hard on base to final, massive red flags should go up. The only time I do it is for a high speed low approach, during which the AOA is very low. You're much better off keeping the turn less aggressive, letting the plane overshoot, and then gently reintercept the extended centerline from the other side. No harm done, other than misjudging it in the first place.
