Most systems don't have anything like CONFIG_SYS_STACK_SIZE; the stack
grows downward into free memory, and is only limited by the RAM size
and the memory areas you might be using in RAM for example to load
images or the like - the x86 implementation might be different,

But I doubt that would actually save memory either.
