I would hazard a guess that the sleeves need to be floating to sit correctly when adaptor torqued up.

No ... but ... if, as I understand it, the splined hub adaptors involve bolting a plate/disc (whatever it is that carries the splined hub) to the face of the existing wheel fixing/hub, then, by definition this must be spacing the wheel further out - just like boy-racer wheel spacers of yore? This would then place an "off-centre" load on the wheel bearings, would it not? Just saying ... innocent

Depends on the wire wheel offset I suppose Nick. I would have thought it needed to leave the tyre in similar position to ally wheel option for mudguard clearance.
