Eau,
I would say you probably have the bike tuned well. Your settings are pretty standard based on the advice here, and the bike runs well. I think beyond that, we're talking about fine-tuning really.
I found at that stage, without having the experience to draw on, the best thing was to forget about tuning for a few days (or as along as it takes to get a handful of 'normal' rides done, and if there are any problems then the they will show up).
Having said that, if you want to keep chasing down the 'ultimate' settings for your riding style (and I wouldn't blame you, I find it fun to do, and I found a few other things that needed attention along the way), then you probably need to keep moving the settings until the performance drops (going too rich) then go back one step and you know you're getting the most out of it. However, I found that can still require running the bike a few times in normal riding conditions to get a sense of the difference - or pushing the bike hard in test runs to feel the drop in pull during acceleration.
That's just my take on it anyway
BTW, my spacer was around 3 mm thick, the same as yours. I initially moved it down one notch (equivalent of 0.75 of original size) and found it didn't resolve the issues. At around 0.5 or 0.6 (3 or 4 of 6 SS washers on the original notch) it did the trick.
