As stated, please have a look and give me some pointers on my PEX install.
If you have 2x6 studs that have been notched 4", leaving only 1.5" of wood on just one side, you're down to 2x2s. I suggest those notched 2x6s should get an adjoining flatwise 2x4 to reinforce them (vertical, turned 90 degrees relative to a normal stud). You can also strap the 3" DWV to the back side of the 2x4 using plastic plumber's strap every 32" - 48".All of my notches are 1.5in of wood before the 3in pipe. All of my 3/4 horizontal PEX runs are 3in minimum setback. I will still probably use nail guards on everything to be OCD.
