Haste items indeed have no effect on songs themselves, if you've heard/read about stacking in that context, it was likely referreing to the haste itself stacking (1 item+1song/spell+bard overhaste come Velious).
As Supermonk found, once you reach the 30s, haste items lose their appeal as a bard, since lack of double attack means your melee damage is very subpar. Couple that was the fact that you by then have the ability to use 3 dots, regen and slow/snare with instruments to double the damage of the dots, and it's no contest.
Bards are the one melee class that never needs to worry about having a haste item, not even for tanking (some songs generate more aggro than any other spell you can mention), meaning you can skip the no AC FBSS for a more tanky belt. Part of the appeal for me not needing a heavily contested class of item.
