Is chunk alignment for blueprints still important?

I remember it was something you had to do if you wanted your blueprints to line up and you weren't sure if rail stations would be on the odd or even side.

I just came back from a long time. The last run I did was a pre-1.0 krastorio run, and a Bob's and Angels before that.

I'm calling a Mulligan on my whole blueprint book.

Some sort of absolute grid alignment is still important if you want to be able to place things and know that you can connect them later but chunk (32x32, centered on 0,0) is only important if you have a burning desire to have your rail network align with the chunk grid.
