How much difference is the -1.5mm internal vs Forza going to make? Or does it not matter with larger size tyre?

Depends what tyres you use and how you like them to feel. Wider would be better.

brain can't work out if they look like hot sex or are ugly as sin.

Think of them as a shallow 454NSW for poor people :)

It's those bulges in the brake track ><

Think will go Forza - The hub is a White Industries H3 so the asym rear should help with brace angle as I think the flange spacing is on narrow side. Plus the width should play nice with G-one 30c if I ever want to switch it to 'more roadie' mode.

If the flange spacing us narrow then using an asymmetric rim does not change that or the latter all stiffness of the wheel. What asymmetrical rims for is reduce lateral stiffness by 1 it 2% for a big gain in nds spoke tension. If the flange spacing us narrow then nds rear spokes tension is not a problem and an asymmetrical rim makes the wheel worse.
