This isn't a knock on the Canon 10-22, it is just a "side effect" of UWA lenses.

Ideally, a FF Canon with the 17mm TS-E would be best for indoor work, but I don't think you are willing to drop that kind of coin....
True, there can be some distortion depending on how you set up for the shot. You can also go so far as to use the 10-22mm as a bit of a fisheye lens at the wide end. I think it adds to the character of the lens...it makes the lens a little more fun IMO. I'm sure it does annoy people, though, so, it is good that you pointed it out.
