Now you're getting into sim vs reality stuff.
IRL there's an awful lot of things I wouldn't do because I can't afford to make mistakes. New propellers and overhauling shock loaded engines costs money I don't have.
However, I suspect that if you were careful you'd be able to gently lift the tail with the brakes and power and suffer no ill effects in probably both the Citabria and the Stearman. Of course, that doesn't mean full forward stick.
The serious STOL guys do this sort of thing quite frequently. But they also end up bending their aeroplanes from time to time:
