technically there is no such thing as too little pinion angle. That would mean perfect shaft pinion alignment. Unless of course it was achieved by increasing the front shaft angle.
In addition to U-joint wear, too much pinion angle will cause a "lumpy" turning of the drive shaft causing the pinion to cyclically speed up and slow down 4 times per revolution and a loss of power due to increased friction at the acute u-jount angles.
