All mine were exactly at the middle of the specification, based on my "feel" developed over the years. None tight, none loose. Just enough drag on the feeler gage to make me happy.
Done at just over 8,000 miles or ~13,000 km.
Looks like yours are all within spec now, but could you post what they were at the first adjustment and which ones were shimmed?
Conclusion could be that some require shimming at the first service but once "worn in" they tend to hold the adjustment well.
I cannot go along with the idea that this should be ignored. Yeah, it's a day's work but it's a machine, it can wear out or break. Better to be safe than sorry.
I do think knowing the type and grade of oil would also be relevant so I fell compelled to state this. 10W40 from the first change.
