How about extending the code around after this block:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/2bb4b59fa5529569ad38d3bf7d36666c926d8e47/src/node.cc#L781-L786

... to add something like this:

  if (!(flags & ProcessInitializationFlags::kNoAdjustResourceLimits)) {
    struct rlimit lim;
    if (getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &lim) == 0) {
      char stackSize[32];
      int buflen = snprintf(stackSize, sizeof(stackSize),
"--stack-size=%d", lim.rlim_cur);
      if (buflen < sizeof(stackSize)) {
        V8::SetFlagsFromString(stackSize, buflen);
      }
    }
  }
