A proper double-wall insulated chimney doesn't need anything near that much clearance. Your stove will run better and cleaner. I wouldn't use anything else for a house.

I'm familiar with these codes as well, even for class A exterior chimney. Seems to be more about spark/ember concerns that could lodge into and ignite some section of roofing rather than unwanted heat transfer from chimney to potentially combustible wall.
