We would lose nothing that way if ASAN was just some extra checks to heap alloc/dealloc. In fact ASAN is not limited to heap memory; the main value of ASAN lies in the extensive instrumentation on every indirect load/store (whether heap, stack, or static), sort of like Valgrind but more lightweight without the VEX IR. For example it can detect erroneous reading beyond buffer boundary, something a heap verifier won't be capable of.
