Single-Side Pedals vs. Trainer Power – Is the offset a dealbreaker?

Given i've never really paid this much attention to my zones and power. I've realised I’m split-braining my power data: Zwift (Ride) for indoors and my Garmin single-sided pedals for outdoors. I’ve avoided using the pedals on Zwift because of the "torque sensitivity" reputation Garmin has, but I’m wondering if I’m overthinking it. If the difference is only 2–5%, is that "close enough" for consistent training zones, or am I setting myself up for a failed interval session when I head outside? Or given the natural bias we have to one side could this then push the discrepancy above an acceptable limit and cause issues.
