I haven’t looked at the data sheet for the sensor but. I’d assumed that it would be triggered 2 or 3mm before contact and I could then have the hard stop almost flush with the sensor z. How much overrun should I allow for? I guess when it’s travelling at speed something like 5-10mm would be better?

The distance is determined by the sensor spec, if using just for homes then 2-3mm won't be a problem but if using for limits then usually you will be traveling at fairly high velocity when tripped so the inertia will easily travel 1-2mm if at high feeds.
Also, the accuracy and sensitivity are affected by distance, so it's best to keep the distance on the smaller side of the sensor spec. This way it will react faster but obviously if end on you have less room to stop. 90deg is a much safer setup.
