I agree. Also, most equipment and techniques used to prevent GLOC due to positive G doesn't work for negative G.

Why not? IL2 already has very similar effects for wounding such as permanent dimming of vision and slowed reaction times. It would be relatively easy to link "wounding" and "heavy wounding" effects to prolonged negative G.
As a related issue, as long as the plane's fuselage remains intact, aircrew don't suffer any damage in a crash, even if they ground loop, flip over, or rapidly decelerate from high speed. Realistically, the sudden deceleration, especially fast lateral acceleration, should cause injury or death due to detachment of internal organs and/or cerebrospinal injuries.
