I suppose it's too late now, but as you are finding out Stack is one of the most important geo specs for a tall fella. It's very disappointing the fork came cut so short, the larger the size the more steerer they should come with.

I'm only 6'1, but with my XL bike with 650mm stack I still have 35mm under the stem and 38mm rise bars, I could probably go another 5mm higher as front end grip is plentiful thanks to a 463mm Chainstay.

Which bike?

Ive always found stack to be related to Reach but its two things i look at 475-480 reach, must have 630+ stack(im 6ft an always ride larges)

However i've ridden the trance x 27.5(the new one) and its got like 615 stack with 474 reach and it was pretty good, Did feel a little over the front but It made that bike super fun.

I demo'd the new Fuel ex the other day with i think 621 stack on a large with 485 reach and while i think it feels a little low it made the bike fun, About what i would call a good pedaling bike with being extra capable going down.
