I'd say it's quite the opposite. 1x builds are always problematic unless you don't lace over under. Radials with paired holes worsen the basic issue of radials, namely concentred radial stress at the spoke holes, so I'd avoid that.

As for other cross patterns, I don't see your problem unless your hub is drilled so you can't have spokes coming off from alternate sides.
