I use quite short string, ANGELO short, and it doesn’t impede me at all.

Think people pretty much covered what I was going to say, but no, your height shouldn’t be a limitation! There are plenty of kids who can shred better than lots of the grown men and woman on this forum (including myself), and they are wee-little-things.
You shouldn’t be too worried about string length this early on, but if you find that a trick is giving you trouble because of your height or string length, just look for ways to modify the trick to make it work! I often add extra little string wraps, pinches, or fingers into string formations that other people might not to make tricks work for me. I blame this on my smaller than average hands and my love of intricate string tricks. These two things don’t complement each other. 
It’s definitely not “cheating” by any means. Someone on this forum gave me the same advice yeearrsss ago (wish I could remember who), and I always think about it when a formation is giving me trouble. In fact, modifying things might just make the trick a bit more stylish or more “you.”

I’m 1.65 m (5’ 5" in weird 'Muhrica units), and that hasn’t been a problem for me at all. Probably things like Leg Wrap Trap are trickier but thats about it.
Sure, dont follow the belly button string rule, just experiment to find a string lenght that works for you.

Check out Chloe Monsonego (Team OhYesYo). She’s a pretty extreme example because of the extreme string length she uses but I love watching her big movements.

I have a little bit of that same problem. I am 6’2, but I have a 30” inseam. Long story short. I look like this.
So I have short strings if I use the navel method.
However, with my arm-span, (73.5 inches finger tip to fingertip) I’m used as a Mr. Meeseeks for everyone in the house.
