Rolling left all the time

You can correct it only for constant speed and power setting, if any of those things change re trimming would be required.

Spitfire has elevator and rudder trim, any rolling tendencies in spitfire you are correcting with rudder trim.

Yes engine torque will yaw plane to the left and because plane is skidding different lift is generated on left and right wing creating this roll iirc, this is why you counter this with rudder trim not aileron trim.

If you look carefully some planes has deflected vertical stab to counter this in cruise flight, but this has adverse effect in high speed dives where this non neutral incidence of vert stab forcing pilot to apply left rudder to maintain coordinated flight.
