I am not sure about visual observing, but for Astro photography the problem experienced with using a field de-rotator is that it will increase the focal distance for a camera. Dobsonian already have trouble with focal distance with the standard Crayford focus. It will have an effect on eyepieces but I don't know whether it will affect the focal distance or not.

Not sure why you need a de-rotator anyway.
