I never used RAM Concept or Adapt Builder.
Slab meshing is an art and you will understand it with experience.
What do you mean by unorganized replication of floors? I can make nothing of it.
NECESSARY BUT NOT SUFFICIENT MEANS...
For a sound ETABS model, there are plenty of checks to be satisfied and one of the checks is this GLOBAL ERRORS check. Do not think that satisfying only this check will be the "Only" SUFFICIENT CONDITION but rather it is a NECESSARY CONDITION along with many other conditions.
Your errors depends on the model geometry etc. so it is difficult to tell you that an eror og magnitude 0.0003 or 0.0004 is significant or not? but i think they are not passably well
