I don't see the need for one, but maybe some mounts have connections that require a raised plate, or you are a wedge user or already have a pier with a top plate.

Question is, does it cause a measurable/visible detriment to imaging, and why?
Answer = Absolutely "NO"
As there is "NO" measurable adaptor plate movement there can be "NO" visible or measurable detriment to imaging

p.s. I had to add the adaptor plate as the Pier top buckled when welding it on, therefore there was "NO" flat surface for mounting a scope.....
