One thing you can look for is whether or not the top is deformed - pressed inwards - in the area around the fingerboard. That can indicate the neck angle changing. You can also look to see that there is no gap at the heel, indicating movement of the neck in the joint - not likely, but possible. Otherwise, if the guitar plays and sounds fine, and there is sufficient bridge height/break angle, I wouldn't worry about the neck angle.
Thank you Charles! You've been a big help and I learned a lot! Take care.
