I think you're right. Probably better leave control surfaces well
enough along, but go after the other "protruberences": Antennas,
struts, landing gear, etc. Places that you don't care if they produce
drag in a side slip but clean up nicely in cruise.

You better think that through carefully, and test. E.g., think of the
pitching moment if your wheel pants suddenly got a lot draggier in a
slip.
