Dealing with external ADAT converter latency

I'm using an external ADAT converter to increase the input count on my Carbon setup, and running external mic preamps into that.

The ADAT converter I am currently using has 1.46 ms of delay at 44.1 kHz. What is "best practice" for dealing with this converter latency? Just nudge the tracks earlier by 1.46 ms after a recording pass? Any advice and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!

I'm running Pro Tools Ultimate 2021.12, PT Carbon, Mac mini M1, 16GB, MacOS 12.1 (Monterey)
