[Star Wars] Why don't Jedi carry stun batons or blasters set to stun?

I get why they wouldn't carry a traditional blaster, as those are offensive weapons, but given they are supposed to seek violence as a last resort, wouldn't they carry SOME kind of stun-based weapon as part of their traditional "kit". 

A blaster set to stun seems REALLY effective, and seems to do NO damage to the target at all -- it seems like technology the Jedi would embrace. Instead, if a situation comes to blows, the Jedi is going to have to use a massively damaging (albiet precise) lightsaber, which seems way more violent than disarming the situation by using a stun weapon.

It's a matter of choice. For most Jedi, maintaining and carrying a blaster would be of little benefit. Jedi are generally precise enough to disarm and disable their opponents without killing them when they choose to. And they're fast enough that blasters aren't really speeding things up. (just making more noise)

Of course, some Jedi do use blasters; Ezra built a stun gun *into* his lightsaber, both for versatility and stealth. (relatively: it helped him avoid being identified as a Jedi, at least)
