Who added the word “significant”? The OP asked about starting stats on an Iksar. I’m pretty sure we all agreed on page 1 it didn’t really matter.

I’m out. You win.
I agree, OP will not run into any significant issues due to starting stat allocation. This is especially true as a twinked character.

INT is the hardest stat to cap on a Shadowknight, and therefore the best choice for your starting stats. This is because you will receive the benefit from this choice for the entire lifespan of your character. You will never run into the situation where the stat has become capped.

If you put 20 points into STR, and your STR is sometimes at 290/255, this means your starting stat allocation has become useless for certain periods of your character's lifespan. For STR specifically, it is extremely easy to cap well before you have full BiS gear. Avatar + Focus of Spirit + Maniacal Strength is giving you +235 STR. This means you can cap STR on a naked Gnome Warrior simply with buffs.
