The truing stand can’t be very stiff given the construction so it should be able to spring the 7mm. 13mm might be a stretch but not by much.
I built many wheels with a Minoura truing stand like
this one. It harder to work with than a Park truing stand but it does work. The one you are looking at looks a little flimsier but not by much. You’ll need a dishing tool or just turn the wheel around to check dish but it’s workable.
Thru axle really isn't a big deal for a decent truing stand to deal with, just need some form of adapter though I've had no trouble building thru-axle wheels using the axle from the bike, a cheaper stand might require some form of QR conversion item but the bigger concern is fitting the wheel.
A stand I'm someone willing to recommend is this one

I bought one of these about 25years ago and learned to build wheels with it, it will make the job harder then a real pro stand but I think will do better then the one you asked about for not a lot more money. I still will toss mine in the car if I'm doing some form of neutral support as it does work well for doing a quick true or spoke replacement truing; this looks like its been updated nicely though its still the workman version.
