Correct. Of course this only takes you so far.
I think slats can help increase lift without as much pitching moment generation. You could also put more sweep on the wing and put more download on the tips, but it ends up cancelling the benefits you are trying to achieve...
A lot of flying wing designs have been proposed with pop-out canards, that ought to provide plenty of trim authority, it's just that the added complication is not seen as worth it. I think Flateric posted a Northrop patent about that recently.
More in general Flying wings tend to have lower wing loading, so that offsets partially the lower CLmax on takeoff (but hurts other flying characteristics!)
