The code should still work otherwise the obfuscation failed and you simply broke your own code. In the end any and all code you write can be reversed engineered regardless of obfuscation or any other technique used to make it harder to do so. So in that respect you will have to look at the cost you make obfuscating your code as opposed to the risk you run with someone actually taking the trouble of reverse engineering your code. How much will you loose if someone reverse engineers your code in a week and how much will you loose if it takes them a month... you might very well find that the cost of hiding you code is not worth the money.
