CoTE between nickel plater copper integrated heat spreaders and copper heat pipes can be a non-issue, especially over such a small area. Increasing the effective surface area is an interesting idea, though minimizing the seam thickness also works to reduce the thermal resistance of the joint, and seems to be more common.
