"full stack already has an abundance of meanings depending on who you are talking to"

That's why it's useful! There isn't a pre-existing term that means the same thing exactly, and there is enough need for one that we are seeing it employed in the wild.

No, there's no need for a new term. From what I've read 'full-stack' in this context is not much different to 'vertically-integrated'. The way it's being used, it's about as useful as 'ninja' or 'rock star' in job ads.
Doesn't full stack just mean decent ability all the way from assembly or C, to web dev or phone apps, pretty much
