Well as long as the camera can be calibrated, it's not a big deal, however if it is not 100% repaired it's a useless camera.
Using live view is the focus accurate? If it isn't I think we have serious problems.
I really feel sorry for what you had, have been through this, ten years ago I had ordered 17-55f2.8 IS from US ( at that time its price was merely twice my student salary) and waited for weeks to end up with a lemon totally non functional with the zoom often locking at 35mm.
Luckily they had extended return for Christmas and it was replaced by a fantastic sample that is still till now my prefered lens, it's the reason I left the full frame body at home and now I am traveling with it as my main lens, for all those years it almost never left my bag
