This seems like a good middle ground. I have to admit that after creating a new stub biography, and finding it tagged with three stub templates -- which took up more space on the page than the article itself -- I removed some of them impulsively. Still, I very much think it makes the article look silly to have more stub templates than content. Adding the article to the categories without using every template could be the best of both worlds.

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS. Different stubs are subcategories of different parent categories.
It's possible to add a stub category without adding a stub template. Perhaps this would be a suitable compromise between those who need the categories to be there and those who don't want multiple "this is a stub..." notices on one article? Compare http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ambrosius_Stub&oldid=27617688 with < http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ambrosius_Stub&oldid=27615177%..., for example.
