True, as far as I can tell, the only reason you need to have a level plate is to make drift alignment easier. As its good to build some adjustment into your pier incase the pier shifts/settles over time.

Also we are both talking about "flex" in short lengths of thick bolts. I'm sure someone smarter than me could work out exactly how much flex these bolts add. I'm sure its insignificant, it seems to work for a lot of people.
