28h 3X will work on small flange hubs in shallow 700C rims. If your spokes start touching adjacent spoke heads you're over crossed and should change the pattern.

If you'll pardon the expression, how large is your flange?
Got a rear Novatec track hub (62mm hole circle dia.) laced 3 cross to 88mm China carbon, and it's fine. Close, but the spokes don't cross each other's heads (CX-Rays).
Going to roll the dice on a 3-cross rear 28h DA HB7600/60mm carbon build in future.

2 questions for the hive mind,
1 - Flat head v dome head spokes, aesthetic difference or a functional one? Flat head better on low spoke count non radial lacing as spokes may cross the heads of others?
2 - 28h 3 cross, mutually exclusive or just a bit harder due to aforementioned spokes crossing others spoke’s heads?
