I don't believe you need to worry about spokes stretching unless you use spokes that are 1.5 mm or thinner diameter on the driveside of the rear wheel of a multi-speed bike (lots of dish). This would include butted spokes that have 1.5 mm or thinner middle sections.
Rounding down spokes lengths helps avoid the problem of running out of threads.
