It comes down to your style as well how much an issue it would be to you.
Jazz players are those flat necks and low action players, because to them, fret buzz is not so much of an issue because the play with a light touch.
If you play metal trough a lot of distortion, again, not an issue.
The only time when this is an issue to me, is when i play my Strat unplugged (which i do often). Only then fret buzz can be annoying.
My string action is a little higher since i bend, because bending with low strings is a struggle, so i am not contemplating on it.
But to answer your question on technical things, a little fretbuzz might occur for sure on a normally set up guitar.
But i can let you in on a little secret. The tussrod has barely any function to the higher register of the neck.That means where the neck goes from being round to becoming a square because a) its thicker and stiffer and b) it´s clamped to the body and has no freedom to move.
So if you have any fret buzz up there, the tussrod will almost rarely be able to solve it. You have to work the frets to level or better, have them slope slightly down. On high radius necks especially because bending up there often chokes out the string. So sloping the last 7-8 frets is one way to do it, even if it means sacrifice a little fret material, but it is a little meticulous work. But this off course only applies if you bend some..
I believe David Gilmour had this done or something similar to his Candy Apple Red 83 Strat.
You say you maxed out your saddles. That is not correct, and the neck might need a little shim. But did your luthier check the relief of the neck? A completely flat neck will for certain buzz. A little relief can remedy plenty buzz as well and too much relief will only give you a crazy high action but no buzz (until you hit the last 8-9 frets). So before shimming i would check if relief is good (if there is any at all).
Is it a two point trem or 6point?
