I would like to know if there is any general thumb rule for stirred reactor height to diameter.
Thanks

Here is a rule of thumb, that I found in a Excel workbook downloaded from the cheresources site, that has to do with drum vessels.
Maybe it can help. I attach the workbook here.

Optimum Length/Diameter ratio is usually 3, range is 2.5 to 5

The L/D ratio depends on the process involved. For example for a boiling CSTR used for polymers (high viscosity) you need a low L/D (say 1:1) supplemented by a disengagement head space to avoid polymer entrainment/ add cold material to quench a runaway reaction. So you end up with L/D of 1.5-2.
Having a higher L/D may cause the agitator shaft to be beefed up.
Bottom line is you have to use engineering judgment.
