Started having battery problems and eventually got to the point where it would randomly shut down with 18-25% battery life. Did the battery replacement thing free of charge. All the measurements said there shouldn't be a problem but I still kept getting random shut downs. Spent some time carrying a battery pack and it just became a pain in the ass. Finally chucked it.
As for being concerned - I think you're probably ok until you start having battery issue and even then, it's not like it turns into a brick. just get's inconvenient.
On the design side, I might not be as anal as you're describing yourself but I'm pretty committed to good design. Spent a couple years in a fortune 500 managing about 35% of the global design folks. I can't do it personally but i've been around enough folks that absolutely geniuses that I can appreciate it. So I get what you're saying about the notch...and I'm telling ya...if you let go of the notch, it'll let go of you.
