i took my ibiza on last year which was fairly low and didnt have major issues

could be worth giving them a ring and see if they know a kind of guideline limit?

I used to go over on the Portsmouth to Fishbourne ferry a few times.
With 30mm lowering springs on the Impreza I had to take the car onto the ferry at a diagonal to stop the lip spoiler scrapping on the join between the ramp and boat.
Otherwise no problems.

Ask to park in the Staff Car Park which is hidden alongside the Public Parking Areas on each Ferry - there's always space and it's a flatter ramp.

Just remember to fill up with fuel before going as I don't think they have any V power or SUL over there, or atleast they didn't a couple of years ago
