I consider the oil holes essential in a standard A7 rod, they allow the old oil out and new oil to enter keeping the bearing cooler and better lubricated.
I know quite a few who don’t use them however and suffer no ill effects.
My experience with the oil trough is that very few commercial white metal shops use them, they all seem to prefer a plain finish these days - with oil holes drilled.
Clearly there is more than one way to successfully approach it.
