You know, when I was talking with the builder of my new hardtail frame (made for East Coast janky slow speed technical) and he proposed a 180mm head tube, I was worried. I'm 6'1" (1.8542m) with an ape index, and the stack was 666mm.
You know what? Totally works. Bike kicks ass.
I'd come up in the era of long + low = good, but that's not a truth anymore, and this really opened my eyes to that.
