In Macaroonia, which is one of the most important Biscuit inspirations, you can address "stateless" revocation with a 3P caveat on a revocation check service, which can issue time-limited "not revoked" attestations; the services that rely on the tokens don't even have to understand what that revocation check service is, or have any revocation checking code at all; it's all hidden from the application, the service can get moved around, scaled out independently, etc.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't a similar strategy available to Biscuits.
