None had the slab tail (except maybe for experimental testing), they had normal elevators, but (like the Me 262) they featured a variable incidence tailplane which was used for trim instead of tabs. (and iirc the metal fairing at the stabilizer junction was the the location of the trimming axis)
And using that would facilitate recovery from high compressibility dives, but obviously not with the same response as slab elevators.
