Scout will show the current amount of free stack when looking at tasks. However, a utility which shows the max stack use is more useful for estimating the stack needs. There are several on Aminet when searching for "stack" but I don't know how good they would be under AmigaOS 4. I didn't find any on OS4Depot. Some program's stack needs are dependent on the amount of data processed or use unlimited recursive function iterations which means there is not a correct amount of default stack to give them. Compilers usually have options for automatic stack extension which can be useful in these cases but is slower overall. The PPC generally needs more stack than the 68k for alignment reasons.
The guru doesn't sound like a stack problem. If you don't have much free memory, perhaps some memory was not correcly freed.
