Wouldn't hurt.
I have a few Qbus boxen here only one has a DELQA, the rest are DEQNAs
most rev-E and a few rev-J. They work. I've run a LAVC under VMS5.4
using them along with a few 3100s and nothing ever spit up or died.
Would I rather a DELQA, yes, but I'd not refuse a working DEQNA.

No they _could_ corrupt data, not they did all
the time...
The frequency of the failure was related to the traffic level on the local loop.
So then, in the modern era, putting a DEQNA on its own switch port
(i.e. - a tiny collision domain) should increase data reliability?
