Making one seems like a lot of tinkering, but the effort would definitely be worth it.. Not having to nudge the dob every 10 seconds would be like heaven.

I was working on building one for the same reason you quoted, but after buying a few suitable widefield eyepieces and working on smoothing out the dobs motions, planetary observation wasnt so much a problem anymore.
It makes a big difference having a bigger 'viewing port' instead of feeling like one is looking through a drinking straw.
What you wont get with an EQ platform is accuracy suitable for long exposure photography
