How many games does Bama play (and Saban coach) that are in any way in doubt enough to care about timeouts, or care about halting the games to regroup the D?

He needed to call a timeout for them to review a couple of plays yesterday. Especially the one where the TE didn't step out of bounds and scored.

Saban is a no-nonsense coach, and doesn't do something just to do it. Everything has a purpose. And letting your defense play through adversity is more useful and purposeful than calling timeout and coddling them. Saban never wastes an opportunity to teach, and you are just flat wrong in your above statement.
Whatever the coaches would say during the TO can be replicated in practice. Getting the ball moved on you and learning to overcome that in a hostile stadium can't be replicated in 1,000 practices.
What will happen in the future when we need a stop and don't have any TOs? Will your method have them prepared? Nick Saban's will.
