From what I read "the stick all the way back" is correct, because it's telling the computer your intent, "raise the nose of the plane". Airbus aircraft use flight laws to control the actual control surfaces, so there's no reason to make your intent less strong than it actually is.

Airbus airplanes have several different flight law modes (including direct law, which has no protections). So the biggest risk is probably that it switches laws and actually tries to carry out what you're doing.

I know, for all of Boeing's problems not doing that is a big plus. At least on the 777. I hope they haven't changed that since.
