This shows an astounding lack of understanding of stall protection systems. The SPS activates PRE-stall, not when the wing is actually stalled. So in a "normal" stall with the shaker going off, dropping the nose by a significant amount is a no-no. The pusher will do its job, and if you get closer to the critical AOA and closer to actually stalling the wings, the nose will be forced down.

You obviously have little to no experience flying swept wing aircraft. If you pitch down in jets in the pre-stall, you are in for a world of hurt and TONS of altitude lost.
