My personal opinion would be to use the clips Tom, you're right in your assumption. With a narrow tile you can end up with an undulating finished surface, very easily done.
The thinnest clips you can purchase are the Rubi at 0.85mm but obviously that's too thin.
Yes BS states 3mm floor joints but most pro tilers now work to 2mm. It'll be a judgement call on the sizing of the tiles tbh mate. If the sizes are spot on, then 2mm will be a breeze. If not, increase your joint as has been suggested.
Stagger the bond as Sean said then use the offcut from the last tile to start the next course, it'll look more naturally like a timber floor and easier to keep flat.
Most tile manufacturers now state no more than a quarter bond because by their very nature, long and thin, they're more likely to be bowed. Tho not all companies suffer this fate.
