I agree that it's going to be excessive for pretty much all applications, I adjusted it to match x86 as part of the general effort to avoid divergence and because I was a bit concerned about non-PCS cases (eg, JITed code) potentially running into trouble, especially with smaller stack limits. It's not an issue I have super strong opinions on though, as you can see I had implemented it both ways at various times.
