This is VERY dependent on the features you are using and what you are using them for.
A cylinder as primary, leveling Z can translate X and Y with no issues of any kind.
A plane as primary, leveling Z can translate Z with no issues.
If the secondary is a hole in that plate, it can translate X and Y prior to rotation.
If the secondary is a plane or line, you can't translate that prior to rotating it, unless you magically happen to have the part sitting in whatever rotation the machine measured in and have it close enough you can't READILY SEE error. Maybe it is off .0010", maybe it is off .0005", maybe it is off .0021". How do you know that is alignment error versus part error?
Put the part on 45° to the machine axes and try it, you'll have .121" error and KNOW it is the program not the part. Program might not even run if you are off far enough.
Getting lucky shouldn't be your go to.
Unless you KNOW otherwise, Level, Rotate, Translate.
