If he or she follows the opinion of the Sefer Charedim that there is a Mitzvah to be blessed then it makes sense that they should seek to accommodate that Mitzvah by straddling both if possible.

Well Davening is DeOrayso or a DeRabbonon or at least once a day DeOrayso and it’s Yishtadel
If a person follows the Charedim then that is Lich'ora a DeOrayso
I think the sensible thing to do for someone who is concerned is to find a Hashkomo minyan or similar and be Poseach al Shnei Seifim.
