Sounds like you MUST raise it to be able to use the mount. I see no
measurable problem. It would be nice if you could tilt he engine
forward a degree or two so the thrust line [more nearly] intersects the
CG. It shouldn't be that big a challenge and would keep the thrust line
level when at cruise AoA.
