You don't die when you run out of stamina. It just gets tricky to fight back. You can still block attacks and move around while you regenerate. Also regeneration speed is increased by your food and condition/buffs.

Saying that you die when you run out of stamina is needlessly hyperbolic, but I would be more than happy if this mechanic was removed.

Why is it a bad mechanic? Most people complaining about it either don't eat the right foods, us the right potions, use the right tactics or some combination of those 3. Many players(including me) beat the game just fine without either cheesing or having lots of stamina issues. Then the question should be rehprased as

'What can I learn in order to do better?'.
