YUPPERS plus the 1 to 3 degrees is highly desirable to stay within.
I understand the shortening one tube to use the opposite side short axle. that has been done for as long as I can remember. I can't remember the application or the axle used but it was a real common thing in the late 70's when guys started wanting the rear tires inside the fenders on full fendered street rods.
The driveline angle with the offset pinion is something that tends to freak guys out be it Chevy trucks or hot rods or street rods. Some guys have a real hard time dealing with that shaft not being perfectly straight and centered all the way back from the extension housing to the pinion. It's all about appearance and not function.
