Is this going to cause a problem?
 
I noticed that when I back off my through axle bolt just a bit to more “snug” rather than “tight” tension, my wheel spins quite a bit more freely. Does that bolt need to be quite tight to provide any other stability functions or is what I’m doing ok ?

Something is wrong with your hub.

Problem solved

Disc brake housing was misaligned just enough that as the axle bolt was tightened it moved the rotor slightly against the pads.
