the issue i often run into isn't that my ellipses are hotdog or the squished football, but the fact that my ellipses are tilted instead of being properly centered

Circles in perspective follow the rules of perspective. You drew it correctly at the outset, making it incorrect, when you "corrected" the height, by making the "top" and "bottom" horizontally symmetrical.

If you were drawing a cube, or series of cubes in a line traveling back to the horizon, you would not make them equal in depth. In much the same way sidewalk blocks become visually shorter (and narrower) as they move toward the horizon. Finding the center point on a sidewalk block or a wall, by X-ing through it will prove the point. The half of the object farthest away, toward the horizon, will be shorter than the half closest to the viewer.

Is what you are doing easier and more easily replicated? Definitely. And so, an easily consumable introduction for beginners. But it is not technically or visually correct. That should, at least, be noted.
