The point with symmetric laminates is that the laminate is usually quite thin, so small differences in thermal expansion, shrinkage during curing etc. are relevant even if they are very small. If you...

I have done thin parts about 1.5mm thick which were near flat shapes, the asymmetric laminate makes the part change shape once released so it is then nothing like your mould is. Less of of a problem...
