It’s personal choice and if it effects overall finished appearance. You can use plastic window packers and place them on the floor at lowest points and then work back with thinner ones using a level and check for bubble flat. Then slc to those packers and work back.

Ok that makes sense I’m laying 600x300 tiles so wanted it to be level
