This is true. But a GA will be much better than landing long, fast, or red screen. Most examiners would find an extra few minutes, typically reposition you to base leg or something if you had already demonstrated the GA task. If that was your first GA, then it would not add any extra time before you need to do a couple of those anyway.
The need to do a GA in the sim is almost always preceded by a Charley Foxtrot approach or setup. Use that "quiet time" before course intercept to review your setup, altitudes set, modes armed, configuration. If you're stable, configured, and armed at the vertical path intercept, it's pretty basic monkey skills to the rollout.
