Pitot-static failure is already a big deal for much more immediate reasons than an AoA estimate. And I'm puzzled why load factor changing would be a problem? The air data computer knows what the load factor is at any given time.
To be clear: I didn't imply that you'd want to use this as the single source of AoA, only that you can use this in concert with the physical sensors to determine if the sensors are producing a valid value. You need 3 sources to be able to throw out a bad measurement, 2 AoA sensors and an airspeed-based measurement should be a perfectly valid, single-fault-tolerant, way to outvote a bad sensor.
Remember that these accidents happened at high airspeed. You'd rip the wings off the airplane before you'd stall it at those speeds. It's not a subtle failure.
