Do you see anything in your log files indicating that stunnel gets
notified about the peer being disconnected?  If not then stunnel does
not make any difference for you.  You would bump into the same issue
without stunnel.

Either way, you need some kind of keepalive.  It may be implemented
either at the application level by periodically sending a command
(some no-op) to your redis server, or at the TCP level.  Stunnel can
help you with it.  The stunnel.conf option is:
    socket = r:SO_KEEPALIVE=1
