As far as I'm concerned, Stone-giants were just "giants", a concept that was probably dropped by the time LotR was written. I'd say Caradhras's implied sentience is the closest thing that carried over, and parts of the giants were definitely incorporated into the Ents.

Even if they weren't completely integrated into the later canon, I personally don't have a problem with Stone-giants being implemented into the mod, and this suggestion seems a basically fine way to reference their mention in The Hobbit. I don't really think too much of how the Hobbit movies portrayed them as giant rock-golem things, but that's just me. Perhaps the Stone Giants are Úmaiar or Nameless Things that climbed up?
