Does water level matter in semi hydroponics is a really great question. So the answer is it depends. If you've got a plant that you recently are working on transitioning into semi hydroponics, the rule is that the root should not touch the nutrient solution. It's okay if they grow into the nutrient solution over time, but you do not want to start them in the solution or they will rot on you. So over time they've grown into the nutrient reservoir. You can kind of see here, this is totally fine. Now, once once the plant is established my rule is this. I want to see at least some solution in my reservoir at all times. I do not like my reservoirs to go dry. And then from there I want to make sure that the nutrient solution doesn't touch the bottom of the inner cup. And the reason that I don't want it to touch the bottom of the inner cup is because there's generally holes in the bottom of this and if I plug those holes I reduce the airflow to the roots and I can introduce root rot because of that. So really that's my only recommendations. Just make sure on new plants that you don't touch the roots and on established plants you don't cover up the holes in the bottom of the pot. Hope it helps.
