The exact center-to-center can actually be easier--the main thing is that your precision work is all on the tube, and it's a smaller hole so it can be easier to get right. I'd be willing to bet that it's possible to place and drill a dead-axle hole by hand--and drill it straight, too, with the right tools!--or drill press by someone who knew what they were doing.

There's also the option of throwing a tensioner block into the system, probably an off-center mounted delrin cylinder, but that kind of defeats the purpose of "ease of maintenance".
