The most important thing is that it sounds good.
Really.
If the armband is not level the arm is constrained.
You worry about 0.1g tracking - an out of level arm board has a large impact on the bearings and arm motion, not to mention the unbalanced forces on the cantilever.
What do you do when the cantilever is bent or stylus worn more on one side - do you turn it around to wear out the other side ????
