This looks useful for keeping a long change reviewable without leaving a branch open for a fortnight. Most of my pain with big PRs was never the size of the diff, it was that it had been diverging from main for two weeks before anyone opened it.

The discipline doesn't go away though, it just moves. If the bottom of the stack sits unmerged you still have a long-lived branch, with everything else stacked on top of it.
