I have experience in C# obfuscating the code.. it's not that hard as you think... just in the beginning is a little difficult because you never know what obfuscate or not. Of course the obfuscation has your issues like you sad that the stacktrace is compromised.. but you can resolve this with Logs.. That is how we did in our mobile solution in C#.
