Still common! 2.5 front 2.4 rear is a very common setup, sometimes even 2.6 F 2.3 R. Front and rear tires do different things, so these setups make perfect sense.
I wouldn't worry about a mm or two in stack change. Once you run a lower pressure in the wider tire in front, it's probably all a wash anyway.
