because nothing is ever square with these things - i found using the old door as a template of sorts made trimming to size pretty seamless (clamp old door on new door, used hand-saw then electric planer to trim)
new hinges will be more work, but might be a more secure idea longer term (and look a bit nicer?) - i found replacing the old 3-hole ones with 4-hole ones (used these) meant the holes were in different places so didn't need to worry too much about the integrity of the old holes.
probably a questionable opinion, but i'd maybe try hanging the doors that are too short first and seeing if the size of the gaps are actually noticeable enough to warrant glueing-and-screwing in the first place? got about an inch's gap at the bottom of the bathroom door i did a similar job on recently (this one)
only other thing to mention is the time - but imagine everyone in here is familiar with the initial assumption multiplied by seventeen rule.
oh! might also need to factor in moving the latches and associated rebates in the door frame too
