Is it smart to go out and practice stalls on a normal basis? For
proficiency and for fun?

Yes. No question about it.
(I practise spins for fun. Yes, I am in an aerobatic plane (a glider no
less) and I am wearing a parachute. It's important for me to be able to
recognise the onset of a stall/spin in a glider as in the weak
conditions we have here, to stay in a thermal you often have to fly at
the ragged edge of a stall in as tight as turn as you dare).
