Indeed. Rule of thumb - 1 ms delay is roughly equal to the delay
caused by 1 foot of distance. Aside from messing with the musicians'
groove, a few ms delay can cause comb filtering when combined with direct
sound from whatever the mics are pointing at. This can result in
smeary-sounding treble and mushy bass.
Personally, for my sense of timing, I think I can put up with anything
under about 10 ms but I get really annoyed above that.

Interesting idea, however I don't feel that
any problems are solved by
doing that. I am interested in using only one mixer for both monitors and
mains.
What do you consider "a tiny bit"?
Your milage will vary ;) It depends on the positions of the monitors,
how loud they are, how loud the sound sources are, and how picky the
musicians are. It's just that it's much harder to get away with delay in the
monitors than it is in the mains.
