Perhaps, but I don't know.

I got an '86 XJ D30 donor to swap into my '90 XJ. It was easier for me
to set up the donor carrier in the '90 D30 than to deal with housing
differences.

NO, .01 does not matter at all. This difference is why you can not use 4WD
on the street.

There is a larger difference in the ratios from front to rear when going
around a corner than there is in the mechanical differences in the gear
sets.

That might be a good strategy. The D30 out of a 4 banger is indeed loaded
with 4.10 gears.
