The Ercoupe did not need rudder pedals, did not stall in the real sense, it was not an idiot proof airplane… But your argument really falls apart when you begin quoting accident statistics on a DIFFERENT airplane, an airplane that weighs 3 times as much, has retractable landing gear, two engines, seats six, and adjustable props. There is NO comparison to an Ercoupe which apparently you never even flew.
I “stalled” an Ercoupe 200 feet from the ground with full passenger load and full fuel tanks. It recovered and I flew on. The only thing that you could not do without the rudder pedals was a 4 point roll. You could however do a barrel roll if you had enough altitude.
