I used a voltmeter to measure the vref and the maximum that can be supplied is 5.5 volts (even though the web site tells they can go to 7.5 volts) so they can only provide 1.1A. Is it also enough?

And for the Z axis, where there are 2 1.7A motors, is this still enough current? (considering RAMPS of course).

When you tell that the current Duet limits TMC2660s and that is about to be increased, are you talking about a firmware update or hardware update? What is the maximum current that can be physically provided by TMC 2660s?

You would almost certainly be better off connecting your Z motors in series instead of in parallel.
