Is there a rule of thumb for how much shorter drive side spoke length should
be from non-drive side for a rear wheel? Let's say I have a 36h rim with
270mm spokes for front wheel for standard 3-cross lacing; same rim & hub for
the rear. If the non drive side is 270mm spokes, how long should the drive
side be? TIA.

Look it up on your spoke-length calculator. In general, the RHS spokes
are a couple mm shorter. In practice, it's not enough to matter.
