This strategy is limited by the increase of needed core management (or routing) specially for accessing shared, internal or external resources (which do not mean that it can not be done in an efficient way). Unfortunately, this implies increased complexity for optimizing compilers and because the demand for such tools increase with the inability for machine-oriented programming, this is a serious market? disadvantage if such compiler does not exist or the existing ones are to limited (well, in my subjective opinion of course)

The introduction of one or more registers seems to imply a shift from the core stack machine philosophy. 

Indeed. This tendency can lead probably to accumulator-store architectures with implicit stack addressing.
