Get her some risers. As in big risers.

Not a good idea. I think 4cm is the maximum anyone will recommend for spacers. If you have to much, you are creating a long cantilever from your head tube to your bars. Thus, big bending moment in the steerer tube. You are risking it yielding and failing all together.
Get her some risers. Maybe consider a 17 degree stem pointing upwards too to reduce the stack some more.

I've built my girlfriend a Pomp, and while setting up the cockpit she liked it best with a stack of spacers way up, a higher stack than the headtube itself, to give her a sit up and beg style position.
Is there any reason not to leave it like this if she likes it?
Apart from offending peoples eyes it should be fine right, it won't cause structural issues because of a lever effect on the headtube?
