Kitchen worktop thickness

Hi all,
I'm getting a new kitchen installed, including an island with hob and am looking at getting Corian worktops. My issue is that the hob and extractor I want (Siemens/Neff downdraft extractor with an induction Domino hob either side) specifies that the worktop should be 30mm thick, whereas my options are 24mm or 38mm, and I definitely prefer the thinner worktops. Having spoken to Neff about why they require 30mm I've been told "we recommend the thickness of the work surface to be at least 30 mm. This is recommended due to the weight and heat produced by both the extractor and the hob. "
Does anyone have any experience with hobs on thinner worktops? Any recommendations on whether I have to just settle with the thicker worktops, or whether it would probably be fine with the 24mm ones?
Thanks all!
