I'd say this points more to "it's necessary to retain QWERTY".
Slightly bigger problem is if others want to type on your keyboard; you need to be able to switch it to QWERTY easily.

Yeah, this one does count against Dvorak.
Similarly, with mouse & keyboard stuff like Blender or CAD, you'll need to actually recall the letters are; which is different than when you've got two hands on the keyboard.
The main other things I'd say which count against Dvorak is that it will take some time to learn; and probably your motor-memory will be awful while learning it (so typing on any keyboard will be slow and error prone).
Still, I'm glad with the increase in comfort I got from learning Dvorak. (And these days I'm faster with Dvorak than I was with my undisciplined QWERTY).
