@JohnnyOnions means that the Centrelock Spline interface is known to be as sloppy as…a very sloppy thing. You’ll feel that movement in the drivetrain.

Which doesn't matter anywhere near as much as the fact that the repeated load reversal will destroy the hub splines pretty quickly. Centerlock is an idiotic design for brake rotor attachment, and it's orders of magnitude worse for any drive which needs to cycle between forward and reverse.
I'd never use a centerlock hub for anything, but in a pinch you could used an adaptor which clamps to the spline to eliminate backlash and thereby mitigate the wear issue

I had the same thinking; good enough for braking, good enough for riding innit?!
The rocking back and forth I don't understand; if the lockring is torqued up sufficiently that shouldn't happen right?
I actually also have a steel center lock lockring lying around..
