It could, but you don't need to use the same data that you used for training to fit the meta estimator. Like it is commonly done in stacking with cross validation, you can train the mlps on training folds and pass predictions from a test fold to the meta estimator but then you'd have to retrain your mlps and it sounded like you wanted to avoid that. I am currently on mobile and only browsed through the thread briefly, but I agree with others that it may sound like your model(s) may have too much capacity for such a small dataset -- can be tricky to fit the parameters without overfitting. In any case, if you to do the stacking, I'd probably insert a k-fold cv between the mlps and the meta estimator. However I'd definitely also recommend simpler models als alternative.
