I'm not going to change the chainline on it, it works too well to mess up.

The only way it's a problem is starting on a rough hill. Sometimes whatever made me stop caused me to backpedal a bit.
The root cause is cross-chaining. You should work on shifting to a smaller front ring earlier on hills instead of staying in the big ring and going to larger cogs, to avoid getting into the situation.
