I cant be much help as I have no experience of vintage frets, but I would reckon there should be some crown there.. gotta play and sound better that way.. unless of course vintage frets are indeed supposed to be quite flat like that...
I've been unhelpful.
Sorry..
There’s probably just about enough height left for a better crowning if you’re careful not to take the tops down, but after that it will need a refret.

I had a 94 Mim Strat a while back with vintage style frets and they were low but if I remember correctly they were also narrower, thats what made me question the frets on this Aria because they seem a lot wider but show little sign of wear. If they have been dressed it isnt really a problem, it plays really nicely and there is no buzzing with quite a low action and little neck relief but I do have to go lightly on it, it makes it feel quite delicate..
Also, is there any point on the fingerboard where the clear coat overlaps the fret edges?
