That's just not an issue when you have 64 bits of address

have 4 billion stacks of 4 billion bytes each.
At this point I suggest you to study exactly why Rust
developers have decided to
use a segmented stack. It seems to work well for them.
If you know a reason, please post one.
I believe the Rust developers are also targeting embedded systems
that may not have 64-bit virtual address spaces. Hence the
spaghetti stacks.
