If the other end was potentially 1.36% off in the opposite direction,
You're looking at a combined potential error > 2%, which would make me
nervous.
A 5% error would almost guarantee problems. Consider that about 10
bits are sent to transmit a single byte. Even though everything is
re-synched at the beginning of each byte, the error within a byte
accumulates so that the error at the end of the byte might be 50% or
more of a bit width. Depending how the UART does its bit sampling,
you could end up with an erroneous value for the last bit as much as
50% of the time.
