If you replace the word "stateless bridge" with "proxy server", then tor already supports that model. Bridges can also be proxy servers, as the goal is to get the tor client to connect to the tor network. Whether the tor client uses a tor bridge, or a proxy server, is mostly irrelevant from a connectivity standpoint. From an anonymity and security standpoint, what pros and cons exist for tor via proxy server is an open question.
