The main problem is that MCStack has long been a hybrid window-stack - really, a 'stack' and a 'window' are two distinct concepts and I'm not sure they aren't entirely unentangled yet (Ian has worked on separating things out on and off for years - during the process of implementing High-DPI support and things like fullScreenMode).

Yeah, Im sure there would be lots to do. I think there’s lots of places that assume a stack is either open and has a window or not open or if it doesn’t have a window it needs one etc. Still an interesting idea and seemingly relatively feasible compared to messing with groups.
