I think “full stack” makes more sense as a description of a job than a description of a developer. We recently posted three job openings: “back end”, “front end”, and “full stack”, the latter meaning “someone who is comfortable with and satisfied being flexible”.

When reading resumes for candidates for those positions, I really didn’t care about what title they used for themselves. Did you have the experience I was looking for? Yes? Interview!

I guess then my opinion is that if you’re looking for a title to describe yourself... use whatever you want. Just make sure you have more detail somewhere describing what you can and want to do.
