It's fine to go around a standoff. I'm more concerned about how close your sprocket is to the front plate and to the gear.

Additionally, the dog gear's bearing bores should be pretty tight -- not something I'd want to depend on for maintenance. Otherwise, they'd drift inwards and fall off when not engaged by the dog.
