The Raleigh MV has a 135mm dropout and needed the spacer for the rear wheel.
Shifting is no problem, and since I run it as a 1x9, its a good thing in that it has pushed the chain line to be straighter towards the last 3 cogs which I use the most.
No special adjustments to the shifters were needed.
My bike has V-brakes and I do think they will conform to the non-centered wheel a bit better.
Not sure about side pull brakes.
That said, the main stopping power for me comes from the front brakes anyway.
I have used this setup for climbing the local hill (only hill actually), which is about 7-8% grade and ascending/descending was fine.
The best option will be to re-dish the wheel.
For me, its just that I did not have problems and this is a commute/beater bike and I avoided the added expense and hassle since I could.
