Thermal ties are appropriate when you want to limit the heat sinking, such as with a TH component lead, where excessive heatsinking will make reliable soldering and desoldering difficult to impossible. Continuous pads are the norm for stitch vias. Typical thermal ties cover a minimum of 180 degrees arc. For instance if your antipads are 0.035" 0.015" ties would cover 185 degrees arc at the outside of the antipad. Are you sure that thermals insert too much resistance? If they do, I would be concerned about the current carrying capacity of the via barrels.
