I mean, Sko, make it how you want, it's just that I never really understood auxlangers who were overly fussy ('oh, it must be pronounced like the 'r' in French, nothing else will do!').
As Imralu says, dialect and accent are not the same, and I don't think an auxlang with only one accent is reasonable; if people use your language, they'll just ignore you.
Ditto everything else Imralu says, too.
