My educated guess it that it is handled the same way as register renaming. Zen 2 has 180 GP registers.

For 64-bit platform, you would need some algorithm that needs more than 15 registers (so you need to spill to stack) that need to be execute faster than cache access latency. There might be some, but I doubt many would fall into this category.
