This discussion is moot anyway, either you won't notice, or you'll think it's annoying, in which case get hub rings.

Hub centric does absolutely nothing except make it easier to get the wheel initially mounted. A lot of german cars still use bolts instead of studs, and in that case it's a HUGE pain to mount a wheel that isn't hub centric.
Your argument about the tolerances on the lug holes is moot because the taper seat takes care of that. It doesn't matter that the hole through the wheel is larger than the stud, the lug seats properly and holds it perfectly centered.
I have zero tolerance for vibrations, and I get none at all without rings. I can feel the slight vibration caused by picking up loose chunks of rubber on a track, so it's not like I'm numb to what is happening at the wheels.
