Fine by me.

The stamina gauge adds nothing to the game. Things would be different if there was some way to choose to use more or less stamina to some effect or managing stamina actually meant something. It's just an artificial limiter on how fast you can fire off attacks/spells, and considering that's all it does, I see no reason for its continued existence.
