I have come to the conclusion it is sufficient to phasealign the mics while setting them up - according to circumstances by ear/waveform in the editor /or with burst-signals or sine waves i send from a speaker I place in the sweet spot. While I wear my white labcoat....

That was the point I was making above.

Phase alignment also has potentially the same problems because of the same issues you mentioned above.
