No, you are not worrying about a non-problem. There was an item in the Lancair
Newsletter many, many  moons ago which responded, in reply to a similar enquiry,
that "they" at Lancair had managed to torque down the fibrax filler hard enough
initially that there had subsequently been no significant "droop".
But the exchange obviously implied a potential problem, and I therefore fitted
hard spacers in holes in the fibrax under the hard points, as they suggested,
just in case.
I may be biassed, of course, but it seems to me that after an average 2-3 years
flying amongst the (8) Lancairs here in Lelystad, Holland, that there is a
difference between the amount of spinner/prop droop amongst those who did and
those who didn't.
