Correct, all the fillet does is hold the fiberglass in a high strength shape until it cures and provides a solid substrate to work the air out. It makes a significant difference.

Sorry, been so busy with life I hadn't got back. After going to my boat last weekend and looking it over I don't believe there is any hull deflection. It appears the hull has the same curvature and isn't deflected that I can tell.

Technique for wetting out bonds
I don't recall if this was covered in the links but a technique for wetting out bonds before application that has worked well for me over many years is to prepare them on a batter board. A piece of cardboard or plywood will do.
