Stupid question: if you push to zero-G, wouldn't then the yaw caused by the "hard rudder" have zero rolling effect, since both wings have zero AOA, thus the differential airspeed doesn't matter?

Because the wing has dihedral, the yaw from left rudder will give the right wing
more AOA, and left wing less AOA. And vice versa, of course.
