Beyond that margin, proofs against local realism would fall away. Although with entanglement, the fact that two local variables, perhaps at great distance, would be supposed to have a special connection and to respond in sympathy to one another, does already somewhat undermine the general idea of each variable having "locality" - it's difficult to see what advantage such an explanation has over the non-local.

I don’t think there is any definitive proof that signals are not transferring or propagating between particles faster than light. No-go theorems “prove” this but they are arguably circular since they assume relativity and local Hamiltonian dynamics which is the very issue at hand. (FTL signals break relativity).
