Not sure I see how you would do this without breaking existing code.

The code to switch stacks using software is small, max. 6 instructions
on the way in if a switch is needed, and 4 on the way out. Nesting is
faster. The stability an interrupt stack gives a system is worth the
small overhead. You save memory by not needing to add the worst case
interrupt stack usage to each task.
