From a previous engineering background it was drilled into us that you work for having 1.5 thread protrusion at the back.

also what about bolt shape, do people pay attention to this when changing wheels?

not all wheel bolts will sit in all wheels probably and lead to high stess around the hub

Most people probably don't tbh. i've always made sure I've had the right ones when changing for diff wheels though.
