There's also inherent limits on stroke created by the overall suspension geometry of the car.

I am not going to argue w/ you that BC's are stroke limited. But its also important not to get ahead of yourself with this stroke business. I mean you do agree that stiffer springs require less stroke, right?
Cars w/ lower motion ratios will require significantly LESS stroke.
You only need enough stroke to be not fully compressed on corners and have enough travel to soak up the bumps.
You could rig up shocks like these if you think longer (stroke) is better:
