I am at a loss of words, is this really the state of art now? I have read that there are some cam shaft sprockets that are just held with one bolt and just depend on friction to hold location, is that true? Oh and there is no use of the shims in the joint either as if that is a huge help anyway.

RE: Friction shims
The shims have a surface coating of very hard particles that embed themselves in the mating surface. This creates a perfectly matched interlocking fit between the shim and flange at installation. It is somewhat similar to the cap/beam interface alignment produced with a fractured connecting rod design.
