Yeah, for your current bike that's not an issue. You're probably buying a 3mm offset ring for a 52mm chainline?
If you ride steep pitches a lot (high torque in big cogs) and your frame/gear combo can clear a non-Boost ring (49mm chainline) that will improve your drivetrain life. But certainly, no one's telling you what to do though.
My issue here is brands pushing 55mm chainline for Boost-148 in 2022.
