Do you really need to clear chips on a ~5/16" deep hole?
Or is it just because of the 1/16" drill bit?

I work in commercial machine shops..keeping machines alive and
running..and "pecking" is something that is almost always
programmed into the CNC program when the holes are more than 2-3
diameters deep...particularly when working with "gummy" materials.
