Worth getting a dew shield? Or just use a stubby holder
Good question...My answer and opinion is "it depends"...The stubby holder is functional and an interesting talking point...The Telrad dew shield "looks" the part but at a cost...

In terms of performance, I haven't seen a difference in performance between the two...my family as a gift got me the Telrad dew shield (and later a Telrad heater) and they work well too...but no better than the stubby holder...

Your Astro Budget and "fashion sense" can drive the choice (in my opinion).

Clear Skies!
