Seems like all the things I have read, whether it is in Les Andrews' book, the Les Andrews Youtube "seminar", or the instructions for the Nu-Rex tool, all have not only mentioned the backlash, and the Nu-Rex instructions even go so far as to tell you to make two complete clockwise revolutions (against the normal rotor direction), presumably out of an abundance of caution to compensate for that play. For me it was a totally new concept because I had never run into this with a newer car, but it seems that if you always set the rotor position after rotating clockwise to take out the play, you will always be correct.
