I've never heard stateful vs stateless described in this way, which is basically just caching vs not caching. More commonly stateless refers to the state being carried around on the requests/responses, so that there's no need to retrieve state on an arbitrary insuran instance, unlike stateful where the instance must either hold state or retrieve it from a central location.
