Having it that low, in conjunction with a light touch makes the instrument incredibly responsive. Noting Joe's use of dynamics, it makes sense to have the action so low, in addition to him using 9's instead of 10's.
If you hit the strings hard with your picking hand, then yes, you would definitely want higher action. If your fretting hand comes high off of the fretboard each time you move your fingers (see old Ratt vids) then you'd definitely want higher guage strings.
