A stem is only gonna do so much. If you feel bent over, a riser bar would be more effective. If it’s a significant issue, stem and riser bar combo.
Also it is preference based. Some are comfortable being in attack position all day regardless of the terrain, others its just exhausting as well as nerve wracking at speed/in tech.
Ultimately what you’re looking at is your stack reach ratio. As you raise your stack, you are likely bringing the reach in a bit as well. But along an arc with your body position, it should feel fine. Just more upright vs more bent over.
