Minimum ground clearance: None. Just keep everything other than rover wheels off the ground if there is a chance of traction being added.

Uneven field: only where the carpet and regolith meet. There will be a slight unevenness due to the fact that the regolith is on top of the carpet. 1/8", IIRC. It'll be covered by fiberglass tape.
