Though to my knowledge I have no experience with an asymmetrical neck design. It stands to reason sense your hand cups to grasp the neck and as it forms it is not symmetric, but rather asymmetric in shape, it would be more comfortable for the neck to conform to the shape of your hand. and a true compound asymmetrical shape would change as your hand moves up and down the neck. in other words asymmetric is the same up and down, compound symmetries would change as you go up and down, In my minds eye that would put your hand in a much less stressful position and allow for more control. I don't know, Just my thinking. :)
If your concerns are the warping and twisting of the neck itself.
Stress factors can be built into the truss system to counteract any twisting effete placed on the neck by a dissimilar load from the strings.
