Does the amount of HSP visa points over 70 really matter?

Title!

I know that there is the possibility to apply for Permanent Residence after 1 year instead of 3(?) years if you have 80 points versus 70, but I was curious if there were any other real benefits of getting more than the 70 required for the visa.

I ask because I have the ability to move sooner if I take the route that will get me 80 points, and even sooner if I go for 70, and I wasn’t sure if Japan’s immigration services sees you as “more desirable” if you have more than the minimum amount, or if it for the most part does not really matter other than for the special Permanent Residence provision.

For context, I am planning to move to Japan on the HSP visa in about 2-3 years, the main reason being that I want to take advantage of the ability to bring my Mother over to help take care of my future children and eventually try to get her in on a Designated Activities visa for Elderly Care. I know that getting that approved/accepted is a pretty tricky thing to do, so I was wondering if I had more HSP visa points, if it would increase my chances for that being approved later down the road.
