I don't think it is the stateless approach that imposes restricted pondering.
This should work just fine:

position <current position with opponent to move, not ponder position!>
go ponder

Then the engine can do whatever it wants. Of course the engine can silently do
whatever it wants anyway, but you have to go around the protocol a little bit.
