As James implied, it is rarely possible to be completely safe from decompilation (or anything else for that matter). Security is always a trade-off. The goal in removing observability is not to make it impossible to get information about the objects in question, but to make it expensive and/or inconvenient that only a truly dedicated adversary will attempt to decompile.
