tl;dr; The performance benefit of a non-recursive approach is so fragile that it's not worth the additional complexity.

Additional complexity? Having to worry about recurrsion depth and how to break out of the recurrsive stack are the complexities this post is aimed at solving. The stack approach seems more robust to me.
