I have ridden my Brompton a ton this year and the rear wheel brake surface is looking quite worn out. Whats the rule of thumb for the (stock) wheels?

Short of measuring it with calipers it’s more just opinon based but I would look at getting your hub built onto a new rim sooner rather than later.
If you start to see some roughness on the braking surface, or the top edge of the rim is bulging outwards, it is time to get a new rim…. Yours looks OK, to me, it looks like it’s used about a third of its life…
Now.
