I don't believe VFR flight requires accurate altimeter adjustable for
barometric pressure. 91.205 only requires such altimeter for IFR
operations.

BTW, FAR 91.144 restricts flight operations when barometric pressure
exceeds 31 inch mercury. Any idea why? (note this restriction applies
to VFR traffic a well).


The Kollsman Window is only required to have a range of 28.00 to 31.00
inches Hg. So if barometric pressure is outside that range, you cannot
accurately set most altimeters.
