I also think you are correct in that it would look much better and give a straight line at the level of the floor around the house.
It might also help with little issues like that circled.
If there is another minor detail I would comment on its the width of the "bearers" used under the wood floor.
If they had been made a bit wider then then nails at the ends of the planks could have been a little further from the ends of those planks.
When you check the snag list what do you do when you get to the half of the house that has not started yet?
