ok, I've read that - but is it something people check for regularly when adding this new part? Should one use a thicker gasket just in case if not confident in assessing such matters?

It is something that should be checked every time a dynamo is replaced, excess clearance through use of an overly thick gasket will cause timing scatter.

Spot-on Ian.

So, what's too much and what's too little when it comes to backlash on the dynamo gear?
I spoke to Vince Leek this week in my search for new timing gears and he recommended .004"

Vince is a man with a lot of experience Colin, certainly someone who's opinion I respect.

Vince speaks - I listen.
