It really depends on how long one's eyelashes are, and the amount of time one uses them.
I've got other far more expensive eyepieces with similar low eye-relief, and they are fine for viewing planets at high power, requiring an occasional clean.
When I first got my dob many years ago, my eyepiece of choice was a University Optics 12mm Konig until I later got a 9mm Nagler. The 12mm Konig had very narrow eyerelief, but gave an excellent image - but I had to clean it after each viewing session.
As for blanking out, the original 13mm Nagler and 14mm Meade UWA had similar blanking out issues to the cheap 23mm I mentioned. But at the time they were among the most desired eyepieces on the planet.
