The likelihood you will go from go-around thrust back to near idle thrust and make a 'smoooooooooth' landing is fairly remote and most, if not all examiners I know would debrief that maneuver as 'unsat'.

The proposal is not very realistic. In a Cessna 182, you are not going to go below DH 20-30ft due to inertia so going that low could be construed as 'busting mins'. In a jet, you would have to pitch the nose BACK DOWN contrary to the thrust line from go-around thrust, re-trim and cut power all of which would violate the 'stable approach' criteria.

Unless you are on fire and running out of fuel and the missed approach takes you into a Level 5 thunderstorm, don't try your cut power approach...
