No, I am not arguing women be compelled to testify against their will, unless they are implicated in other crime and this is their plea bargain. What I am arguing is if the prosecution could nonetheless build a sufficient case to prove lack of consent at the moment of the act, the prosecution should not forgo the case merely because the woman gave consent ex post.
Regarding whether any rapist would be invited by the marginal possibility of the woman changing her mind, I think you underestimate the number of hotheaded pseudo adults with a high opinion of their own prowess enough to think their powers in the act would melt through any unwillingness.
