If then on the backend, on the server this is being undone, and there is a corruption on the storage at that specific area. I have still lost 'all' messages. So I am wondering if it is really worth doing this de-duplication?

If you don't want deduplication, don't run doveadm deduplicate. It's admin-ran task, not default behaviour.
