You can put me in the camp of “fit doesn’t have to be precise”.
I have two main numbers that I use in making my close to 20 bikes somewhat uniform. Fore and aft distance, which I call “reach” (although that term, I believe has a different definition for others) is top tube and stem length and then a vertical measurement from the pedal spindle along the crank and seat tube to top of saddle. A little weird, I know, but that, in my mind, accounts for differences in crank length. I then adjust the fore and aft on the saddle based on where my butt settles out while riding.
