How critical are brake rotors just under minimum specified thickness.

04 civic lx 215k miles. No idea when the rotors were last replaced. I put new ceramic brakes 100 miles ago, rebuilt the calipers pre-emptively due to torn dust seals, new brake fluid.

My rotor is 0.735", i believe specified minimum thickness is 0.75". The otherside is 0.775. Likely because one side has a sticky caliper slide pin which is resolved now.

How critical is this. Is this something I can put off for another 15k miles or something that needs to be urgently replaced?

I wouldn't go 15k miles, rotors are cheap
