Having the outer border, bleed, artwork, logo and trim lines should IMHO
suffice.

Nah, not really, any misalignment is hard to spot, I just like the algorithmic
way of aligning objects, in fact I spent quite a bit of Saturday night to give
up on aligning it by hand (I was again creating a mesh of hexagons to send as a
"poll request"), with the URL as you wanted to see - spoiler alert - doesn't
look good) and started analyzing the logo itself, what the culprit was :/, I was
probably just over-engineering things as usual instead of fast prototyping.

Try to bring it down by 1mm it'll look much more balanced. If you include the 2
adjustments (keep the overall size down and make the border thinner):
