The chance that you can't allocate two contiguous pages is fairly small. we're talking about the stack page here, so it's one per task, which isn't much. Fragmentation is more a problem for bigger allocations than order 1, for allocations that may not fail, and for very frequent allocations. The task stack is neither of those, so it's fine.
