Hi Derek,
My dob is a "push" GOTO and "push" tracker. (So no trouble with the drives). As your scope is the collapsable version and you dont extend that last 1 1/2" -2" then the moment of turning about the Alt axis is less and this will offset to a degree the extra weight of the binoviewer and extra eyepiece so shoulnt put undue strain on the drives.
You have got a nice scope, go for all the gadgets,(including binos) and enjoy "scope heaven".
Stephen.
