I’ve never heard of any manufacturer setting a definite limit to how much spacers you can stack.
Also, how much stress this puts on your fork steerer depends just as much on your body weight and on your stem length.
For me personally, I don’t like it when the expander plug in the fork steerer does not expand into the upper headset bearing because I feel this significantly reduces the support that the steerer has against bending stresses at that point.
If I needed to stack that much, I’d rather go up a frame size and shorten my stem. If that’s not possible, I’d look at another frame instead.
However, if you check some of Trace Velos builds, he’s running quite a few spacers below his bars and seemingly has no issues.

Attached is the specialized Crux stem spacer allocations. This is manufacturer guidance but I've def seen chimneys ridden hard all over.

I'm actually pretty excited for this frame. I want this with the potential ltwoo electronic hydro set with a set of elite wheels to pair with my legit SW SL7 as a super beater. haha

Normally I'd agree with you but most people (including me) are curious how it fares against a frame costing 6k since...you know...it's inspired by a frame that's selling for 6k.
