I used longer nipples for my own wheel that I messed up measuring. It's holding fine.
Wouldn't do that for anyone else, see @mdcc_tester tester diagram up there, hollowed just where it meets the rim. -
Might be a yes and No, I've been riding my beater with the spokes too short. It's done loads of miles but had a side on impact and the nipple heads broke right off. If the spoke isn't going into the wheel far enough, the nipple head is going to be a weak point
Edit:ignore me, just realised I chimed in late and didn't add anything 🤷🏽♂️

Would spokes that are 3/3.5mm too short be unsafe in a wheel build?
