The symmetry is a feature of the space, not a bug. Non-parallel walls have the feature that they make room modes much more difficult to calculate and predict, but they don't change the laws of physics: all rooms have modes. Because of the scale of the tracking room (31 x 44 (average of 36 and 52) x 24), all the fundamental modes fall below A0 (the lowest note on the piano). Thus, while we have not eliminated room modes, we have pushed them well below the typical levels you'd find in smaller (20x30x14) tracking rooms that need to compromise other acoustical properties to make up the difference.
