This "as far as I know" is a problem itself. Is it possible to implement (e.g.,
using some form of memory protection in hardware, but I am not an expert here)
an option with 8k stacks that, however, spams the log if the actual usage goes
above 4k, and have this as a default for some time? If 4k stacks are the goal
that is almost achieved, then this debugging option should have zero impact on
performance.
