Your situation seems familiar to mine. I was never a comfortable typer using QWERTY, I would resort to hunt-and-peck after any hesitation or typo. I bought into the hype that DVORAK was more ergonomic and faster, so I gave it a try. I don't know if any of that is actually true nor does it really matter. The end result is that I am comfortable with DVORAK and I no reason to switch back. I can still type in QWERTY just as well (read: poorly) as I did before and I still use QWERTY for my mobile devices (sans physical keyboard).
I bought the stickers for my home only because if I left the layout in DVORAK (as I usually do), then my wife wouldn't be able to login. Or, at least, that was true when I made the switch. Now most lock screens have an easy way to switch layouts.
At work and with my personal laptop (that isn't shared), I do not use the stickers because it prevents me from looking at the keyboard. Plus, when I do look down and see the stickers, I see white-letters and blue-letters. It makes it more confusing which key I am about to press. I end up mixing up words between DVORAK and QWERTY regardless of layout.
