It's 1.75mm filament going into 2mm layers. lol, wtf. Still looks great, though.

A little but nothing too fancy. Probably just make it hard to get consistent line widths.

Closest analogy is a hot glue gun. Unless you’re lifting up as you extrude to make a “dab” it’s just going to smear as it moves sideways

Yeah that sounds about right. Maybe it would have potential applications with non-planar printing? That's still pretty experimental territory I think.
