Isn't the cured resin slightly more dense than salt water? if so any floating island would eventually sink when they get massive enough to overcome the surface tension of the water

You probably can't print a "perfect" 90 degree overhang simply because of the mechanics of the Peachy printer - the water level is rising continuously (the printer has no control over that) and it's going to take time to print a large, flat plane. As a result, whichever bits get printed last will be higher. For accuracy, I suspect the goal will be to print a lot of layers, with minimal time spent on each one - so that the height change during each layer is kept as small as possible.
