Re: how much do you care about your music being in strict equaltemperment keys?

No! Doesn't bother me a bit.
Non-tempered tunings, while usually not as flexible when it comes to
modulation and complex harmonies, none-the-less yield results of
intense beauty.
Some great music that explores harmony and unequal temperament has
been written -- Wendy Carlos' "Beauty in the Beast" comes to mind.
Great question!
