24(52) and 2245 in range for a 1NT opening should IMO almost always be opened 1NT, and that this hand happens to have honours in the short suits just makes it extra obvious.

It is not only about avoiding an immediate rebid problem. The hands can also get awkward if opps interfere or when planning your 3rd bid. With 16 points, even if your first rebid is easy, your 3rd bid is often 2NT which is uncomfortable opposite a partner who would have passed a 1NT opening (or taken you out to a 5-2 2M contract). And even when you have the values for a reverse, the follow ups after reverses can be awkward, and are poorly discussed in many partnerships.

Therefore, a 1NT opening should at least be considered with any 5422 pattern as long as the five card suit is a minor.
