While I have not used _area_ detectors in such a configuration,
we did have a GX18 with beamlines on all 4 ports, 2 with wire
detectors, 1 with a film camera, and 1 with an area detector.
There were no obvious differences in these beamlines that I
recall - perhaps you could suggest what it is that you are so
concerned about.

complete - I would first check the flux and the beam profile,
but in general, I would expect that a complete (anode-out)
alignment would be in order. Think of it this way - How much
time and effort will you be investing on data that will depend
on the alignment that you choose? How does that compare to the
time and effort invested on a good alignment? Taking short-cuts
with your alignment is like doing experiments with questionable
reagents.
good luck!!
