That is such a good idea to do ribbing at the heel! I may have to try that if I brave trying to knit socks again.
I'm with you on wondering about bamboo DPNs thin enough to make socks - they look like toothpicks to me! And I've even had a bamboo straight needle snap that was much wider - though to be fair, it was an odd circumstance as I had my knitting sticking out of my bag and I whacked it on the door as I exited the bus.

The heel flap uses a slip stitch pattern - on knit rows, slip the first and every alternate stitch, knit the rest; on purl rows, purl all the stitches. It creates a dense fabric that wears well and hugs your foot. It does look like rib in the end, but it is not very stretchy, if at all.
Real-life testing 😍
