Does this matter?

I don't think what your pointed out would be a hindrance in any way.

Having worked in a non native speaking environment for 10+ years, I've learnt that simple, plain expressions get the job done. This doesn't take a lot to learn, in fact, but does take a lot to impress on others, especially when they're used to wordy sentences and long complex presentations.

Worrying about sounding native gets in the way, and often confuses things. Based on the writing above, the OP has no reason to focus on English vs. other things. Sure it's great to add nuance, but this comes slowly with environment, it isn't a #1 priority.
