Also seems like prevailing view is not to have a rats nest on top. Ie the 4 bolts with plate for leveling the top of the pier. Is this still a valid concern?

You dont need to level the top of the pier. Eyeballed flat is close enough. You just need some ability to connect the mount and allow adjustment in azimuth. Alt adjustment is done via the mount. A level top just makes it easier to align if you are using a portable set up.
Having said that, the mount and OTA is heavy and if it is properly balanced it should put most of its force straight down the pier.- ie balance on the top of the pier. It the pier it is too tipped it will not balance and exhert more lateral force. This is not ideal for a stable pier.
