There aren't really any 2.5 stack teams, because that's largely meaningless due to the lumpiness of stack scoring.

I think there are plenty of 2.5 stack teams. The ".X" in 1.X, 2.X, 3.X buys you margin against screwups, dropped cans, cans ending up in the corners, noodles, "defense" from alliance partners, etc.
