Probably not, which is another reason why I think they'll be escaping, rather than just hiding. And I think you're understating the affect of the destabilizer. Steven gets all jittry and shaky and can hardly hold still without grimacing and struggling. It's not lethal, but it's an inhibiting factor that they don't need. Again, they need every sliver of help they can get, even if it means fusing only numbs an already mild discomfort from the destabilizers.

They have to be quick and escape. They likely won't be rescued. They'll die if they try to hide when their are little red eyes scanning for them everywhere. They don't need anything slowing them down. Stars has pretty much only benefits for Steven and Lars, given their current circumstance.
