I've never heard of a plane that can't recover from a spin. I'm not a pilot though.
T-tails are often unable to recover from a wing stall, though. Not that I'm really adding anything to this conversation.

The Waltons have always been trying to get Northwest Arkansas on the map for recreational aviation. All the airports are basically subsidized by Walmart, constantly upgrading and are in pretty good shape IMO

People with more money than sense and skills buy them, get their arse in trouble and then deploy the chute. Insurance companies are now requiring yearly training on them because they're tired of paying for them.
A few years ago one of the Cirrus models had the highest fatality rate per hour flown of all the single engine planes.

"the Cirrus SR-22 has a higher fatal accident rate than most similar airplanes from other manufacturers. (We all know that SR-22s fly a lot of hours every year but that is taken into account when comparing accident rates.)"
As you said they deploy the chute at the first sign of trouble, they then have no control of the plane but a significant ground speed which smashes them into trees, buildings, other obstacles that may have been avoided had they been able to continue flying the plane. One in Florida ended up in a lake where the pilot drowned. Also, the chute is useless in the event of controlled flight into terrain due to weather or pilot error.
