   I don't like to rely on sealants alone when flashing.

   Would it be possible to cut a groove in the stucco to insert counterflashing?

   Assuming the new roof pitch starts at a wall, and you want it water tight;

   You can cut a strip of stucco (will be hidden by ledger), and get proper flashing up under there (better),

   or cut a groove into the stucco and tuck counter-flashing into the groove, sort of like counter flashing a chimney.

   This assumes that you want it to be dry for a long time.  If a little water leaking in at some point will not cause much damage, then this might be overkill.
