My understanding is that transport-class aircraft (i.e. large passenger jets) are typically landed differently than smaller planes like a Cessna Skyhawk or a glider. In my brief flight training experience in a small plane, I was taught to stall the A/C just above the runway as you describe. However, I believe ATPs are taught to land at about 1.3x stall speed, then use the spoilers to dump the lift entirely and get full weight on the wheels in a very controlled way.

I'm of course discussing typical on-field operations, not emergency dead stick ditchings. I don't know how those are supposed to go, but one might imagine that going to full stall just before impact would indeed result in the minimum energy state. The trick is to not accidentally do that too high!
