That trouble is not at all particular to preemptive scheduling.

And how do you know that that's sufficient?

If you can't calculate the stack for those small-ish tasks, then you
can't do it for the functions called by your super-loop, either.

If you can judge which of the super-loop's sub-tasks consumes the most
stack, and how much that is, then you can do it for preemptive
scheduling, too.

The difficulty of (reliably) computing stack usage is the same,
regardless what tasking concept is used.
