I guess it’s considered an integral (safety) feature and allowing some planes to fly with expired/deactivated/removed or whatever chute is a can of worms.

Just ask your favourite CSIP FI to do you a wing drop demo 
not Cirrus specific though, load of touring types should not go anywhere near a spin !

I heard it is not true – after SRxx were certified in the US with ELOS (Equivalent Levels Of Safety), in Europe it was not acceptable so apparently Cirrus demonstrated that it can successfully recover from spin…

Yes it surely does, it has an elevator & rudder 
but most Cirrus instructors will not do you asymetric stall, loaded turn stall, wing drops…the SR2x approved transition training covers power off/on stall, autpilot stall and slow flight plus steep turns, there are no accelerated stalls, incipient spins, wing drops…but you can try yourself in spare time, the backup plan is the approved BRS procedure
To be fair, it’s the same thing in most non-aero touring types, you won’t see many people spining TBx0, even stalls gets ugly…

I’m not for a moment going to try and spin the TB10 because it isn’t approved for it, but the stall is totally benign. It’s almost impossible to get it to do anything, so I imagine that to spin it accidentally you’d have to get seriously careless.
