Given that total immersion in water for 5 days didn't cause any dimensional changes, is the .2 inch expansion area really necessary?

    Yes.  Believe us, the installation instructions are written the way they are for a reason.  While it is subtle, expansion occurs in more than just the layer of the floor itself, having that safety ensures that as the subfloor, walls, and the rest of your structure expands and contracts, your floor will not buckle or crack.
