On the top side (with the GPU)
The pads covering the memory measured 1.8mm, so I used 2mm (1mm + 1mm stacked)
The pads on the silver VRM chips measured 2.4mm, so I used 2.5mm (1mm + 1.5mm stacked)
The pads on the black VRM chips measured 1.3mm, so I used 1.5mm pads.
On the back side (backplate)
The pads covering the memory measured 1.8mm, so I used 2mm (1mm + 1mm stacked)
I did not remove or measure anything else, as I ran out of thermal pads 😞
I have to order more and re-do the backplate. Frustrating (and not exactly cheap).

So I think the best course of action here would have been to just replace the memory pads. I ended up needing 2.5mm for the backplate but it could be because I changed the pads on the VRM causing a difference in height.
But to just do the memory, buy two packs of the 2mm and then buy two packs of the 0.5mm for backup in case you need the extra thickness.
