Dr. Paley has talked of this: essentially the axial deviation conundrum because the femur is at a slight angle (also known as the "q" angle).
But he says it is negligible and avoidable and at most some can lose up to 1mm per cm lengthened. So 8mm total deviation from 8cm but then if you were to use Pythagorean theorem you would find the actual lengthened amount to be very, very close to the max of 8cm but not quite.
In other words, it's nothing to even worry about and any loss is negligible.

People need to stop being neurotic over a few mm anyways.
Remember in real life you won't even notice a few mm difference, it truly is negligible

Agreed. No need to replace 1 dysphoria with another.
