Not sure how illegal it really is in practice, as my driving license and passport have different spellings of my name and my green card has a different name (I always fly with the passport name but use my DL (not "RealID"!) to get through TSA). This mismatch has been true for 35 years and I have never had trouble traveling to/from or within the USA. There is also both a typo and, separately, a different transliteration of my name on my OCI card but I have never had a problem with that either.
The computers are sometimes picky but humans seem to be able to deal. Even countries that are supposedly picky.
I did once have trouble boarding a flight to the USA because of the d/m/y vs m/d/y thing with my green card -- they thought the card would expire within six months and I wouldn't be allowed in. But the various variations of name haven't been a problem.
