If you’re going to do that, you need at least a whole riser, and preferably two whole risers.
I would leave them both at 50°.
like 2 inches ?
No, one for the front and another for the back.
What are inches? You mean 51mm?

How important is having threaded inserts for my deck/enclosure?
I am not sure why they are so expensive they are just little screws
The type of insert and the way it’s installed are critical, otherwise they can (and will) pull out and/or bind up and snap bolts during assembly or disassembly.
I’ve stopped using them because the reliability of bolts going through the deck is so much better. But, that comes with sacrifices in the “appearance” and “svelte” categories.

Agreed on bolts through the deck, I actually don’t think it looks that bad

Thanks, any tips?
Countersink, epoxy them in, cover them with a touch of your preferred wood filling, and youre golden.
Or just griptape right over them if you’re a griptape kinda guy.

Place enclosure on your deck exactly where you want it, then I used drywall screws to secure it on all the way through the deck they go. Then remove them and drill where the screw was.
I’m sure everyone has done it differently, but that worked really well for me.
That’s if you are not using threaded inserts.

I just clamp it on the corners(and the middle if necessary) and drill straight through the enclosure and the deck in one go.

i tried that method once, i had my clamp too tight so when i drilled and released my clamps nothing lined up since i had my enclosure flexed. not a fan of the clamp after that.

its not you its me 
would it be possible to reshape an ABS enclosure to my deck, by bolting it down and and heating parts of it. It is not major reshaping just adding a little curve to make the gaps smaller.
Very high risk. Make a rubber or foam gasket.
Yes, absolutely; but very high risk of fucking up.
But then I highly recommend sanding it then laying at least 2 layers of fiberglass on it, preferably 3 or 4.
Fiberglass is way too time consuming for my schedule, maybe during the summer I’ll do it .
