Imperfect 2" Tracking wheels: Is it that major?

Because the Omni Wheels were designed with intake applications in mind first, they are designed such that you can clock the rollers along a shaft. The bore is not perfectly clocked to the rollers, intentionally. A fully assembled roller with these wheels can be made with offsetting rollers, helping to smooth out the “gap” you’re worried about.

I use two wheels offset from each other per odom pod so they cover each other’s gaps. They work quite well.
If you can only use one per odom pod, as long as your mount can pivot and is actively pushed to the ground (like using rubber bands/polycarb springs) it shouldn’t create a drastic amount of error. Just keep @74100dEli 's advice in mind and measure how much your error is to compensate for that.
