Mix for yourself. Are you going to be listening in Mono? No? Then don't worry about it. People who are listening to songs blasting through an iPhone speaker are not people who are going to even listen to your music.
But if you're panning from the get-go, doesn't that take care of masking ?pile it all up in the middle, and then the masking really occurs.
clean that up, and you've done half the battle!

It not as common to check mixes in Mono and Stereo - for one thing there is little reason to do it - most people are listening on stereo systems - and those that adhere to mono are not worth the extra money to mix it differently - that said It's fun to mix in Mono - but I'm older and appreciate it - but it's like showing a B&W film to a kid - they don't like it or see the point.you always want to check you mixes in mono, for a host of reasons which pro mixers talk about everywhere on the web.
and even in the written word!! heheh, which a lot of people don't seem to know about anymore....
I'm a pro - I record for a living amount other musical pursuits - and checking mixes in Mono is only done sometimes - like if you think music is going to played back in a venue an they don't mix in stereo.you should always check you mixes in mono.
that's what the pros do, and they do it for a reason.
some people don't understand why, and i get that.
