They may be incompatible IF code that is obfuscated does any sort of
signing check.

If the obfuscation mechanism is complex, it would have to be unfolded
before running. Do the signing checks happen on the folded or
unfolded version or both?

Does signing prevent self-modifying code? I don't know, but it if did
it might take a dim view of obfuscation.

You might try a different obfuscator or drop it altogether.
