Not a general rule, and often not the case. It depends very much on the style of waterblock.

Cathar managed to utilise a 1mm baseplate only by creating an extremely efficient design and combining this with a centre inlet forcing water down onto the base, enhanced by jet impingement.

Bigben2k seemed to know quite a bit about it and should be able to explain better if he happens to see this.
