I got a premier spinning heavy rod paired with 5000 stradic. Its rated up to 1.5oz. I have a lot of Magnum rapalas which are perfect for it so I think I have the crankbaits covered. Besides those, what other type,model,size baits do you recommending for an outfit such as this?

Do you think I can go over the 1.5oz rating without too many issues, ex: 3oz glidebaits or jerkbaits etc.?

I've got the same rod and primarily use it for fishing jig and creature type set ups. I would think it would be ok with smaller spinners like mepps #5/ muskie magnum/ the little buchertails, ect. Good luck!

Are the hooks strong enough or do you upgrade them?

Upgrade treble hooks. Gamakatsu or VMC treble hooks. New Rapala have pretty good treble hooks. Hook musky is no problem!
