If the antenna system can be satisfactorily matched to the transmitter
output impedance, it would seem to matter little whether the feed line
currents are balanced, or, if they are not, by how much.

If there are no obvious common mode currents causing problems in the
shack, then of what consequence would an imbalance be, other than to
modify the radiation pattern, perhaps even beneficially?

Yes, for a balanced condition, the meter needle should
not move.
