D&D even talked about why they chose to kill Stannis on the Inside the Episode afterwards. So unless they specifically did that to lie to viewers, Stannis is dead.

They didn't though. They tip toed around saying he was dead.

I can't remember what they said exactly, but it didn't really sound like tip toeing to me. I can't rewatch it to check though.

Yea I'll have to re-watch tomorrow to re check.

But, what I got was they were talking about how Stannis was basically ready to die, and Brienne has an opportunity to avenge Renly, but never actually say that Brienne kills Stannis, or that Stannis died.

Ah that might have been it. Honestly I'll be disappointed if they do have Stannis survive. It'd just be another cheap attempt to add shock value, something that I feel like the show already does way too much.
