Personally, I think 1.6 is too light on a DS rear unless you ride "petitely".
No personal experience, but I think I've read that a 1.5mm is on the verge of deformation at DS tensions. You reach a point that you turn the nipple and nothing happens except you run out of threads and have a slightly longer spoke?
This may be a case of "if you can't raise the bridge, lower the water".
Yes, it may be possible to take 1.5mm (or any) spokes beyond yield, (which is why I mentioned that), it doesn't necessarily imply that you need a heavier spoke. It might equally imply that you need to limit tension accordingly.
Thinner spokes have both lower maximum and minimum tensions. So it should be possible to build a dished wheel with both sides within proper limits.
Though a long time proponent of mixed gauges for dished wheels, I don't consider it a requirement.
