From my experience I’ve found accurate levelling on my EQ6-R does help with polar alignment where you only need minor adjustments in Alt and Az to align as poor levelling would lead to more time on those PA bolts.I also find your first slew ends up closer to the first alignment point ( Star ) that’s if you use an alignment pointing model like EQMOD ( don’t know about plate solving , don’t use it )
For bigger payloads it’s makes to sense to level as best as possible for improved stability.
With my 12” Goto Az Alt Dob , I find if I don’t level accurately the Goto’s are definitely not as accurate as when I take time to get the base accurately levelled
up.
With my EQ mount it’s not “critical” more best practice to level accurately
With my AZ Dob it is critical to level accurately
