Whether or not it is a small disadvantage, it is still a disadvantage that you and others are mitigating just because there are other options (that other people have as well).
That's the thing...5 ilv on anything but your weapon is almost worthless, unless you are an absolute hard-core progression person trying to clear T9, min/maxing everything you have (including your race). 1 Attribute point isn't going to make or break anything; neither is 2.
Pre 2.2 many tanks wouldn't wear the Vortex Ring of Fending, instead using Ultima and Hero's Fending Rings if they had no Allagan Ring of Fending, due to the bad secondaries on the primal ring; 2 VIT wasn't worth the loss of Parry to many.
