Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

The closest standard dropout spacing to your measurement is 126 mm and the standard axle length for 126 mm OLD hubs is 137 mm leaving 5.5 mm sticking out beyond each locknut. However, if the bearing adjustment on your hub is good and the hub fits into the dropouts without a struggle then the 4 mm/side you have is plenty.
