I'm looking to avoid dimpling platenuts where reasonable, and know about using NAS1097AD3 (oops) rivets in slightly countersunk skin holes for that purpose. What is the minumum skin thickness that would be allowed for this?

.025" still worked for me, try it on some scrap, if there is any in a 14 kit.
I must have a dozen, at least, and never an issue, even when requiring no protrusion. Confirming spec dimensions below. CS height .021"
I countersink 0.025" for NAS1097AD3-x rivets. Cover plate screw holes, etc. There are notes in my work shop showing the head height at 0.021". This contradicts gasman above. Not sure who's right.
I have installed many countersunk in .025 without any trouble and I don't expect that there is any thinner sheet used in RVs that would need to be screwed into.

Yep. I was looking at -4 spec's.... I need to pay more attention.
Another rivet that can bee used to install nutplates (when the material is thick enough) is an AN426A-3. It is soft and sets very easy, and drills out nice.
