i'm no expert but i don't think that putting on a couple fins will dramatically sacrifice the board's strength. i think that u'll need to seel it some way so the water doesn't warp the wood or whatever. also be careful to get those fins on straight.

I think it would work fine as long as the fins can handle the abuse

Check out my profile. It's a 3-d cassette drilled, with trip fins. No center fin.
The board has held up fine!

if you dont seal the holes it might cause your board to warp because water will get in .

align the holes precisely and seal the holes with a thin layer of epoxy... I had to drill new holes in my cassette to put the new velocity fins that came with my new absolute 03 that I wont use on my board... and yeah be sure to use fins that can tke the abuse of hitting obstacles like the 4-track

I have a friend that has trip fins on a regular cassette and it works great. I am seriously thinking of doing it to my old one. Don't use it much and I like the way it rides.
