Dont need to change any of the angles for chisel and semi-chisel chains?
What about for milling? I've had guys tell me they run all the way down to 0° for milling. Ive used 25° to 30°, milling oak with a husky 395xp and never had an issue.
Semi chisel can use some extra hook to help feed. 50/30 works well.

Regular chain works fine for milling. The 0-5-10° top plate is for leaving a finer finish

That’s another beauty about sharpening your own chains… There is no “need“ to do anything other than what you want as the guy doing it. Semi chisel isn’t as aggressive. So you can either give it more hook/top plate angle, lower the rakers more, or you can dog in all day and wear out your back and bar. Sharper angles cut quicker but dull faster. Low rakers can get chattery. Just need to find a combo of what works for you with what you’re cutting that day
