Both informative videos…. Out of my element for me RN; usually turned off by trendy things. Feel little more knowable THX. Some good perspectives.
I always only consider them as backup or quick target acquisition for magnified optics. I only have one rifle with offset irons, zeroed easily enough and the canted stock doesn't bother me (as a righty). He made good point about no cheek weld for lefties in offset.
Thinking about training with so many different options for the rifle….. shooting with…light, magnified, red dot, irons, lasers and different mount positions….. it justifies much more range time. Which I'm all for.

I'd like to add an offset red dot to my AR so I can keep the scope on it and still use it as a HD gun.

This guy has some pretty good information...

Does anyone use a scope with lighted dot and do the Binden aiming concept with the dot for close ranges?

I generally always shoot with both eyes open. If you are capable of focusing with either eye, you just choose what subject to focus on when looking down the scope. As far as dual optics. I've found that it works better for me to have an offset red dot hanging off the top of the scope mount if I'm trying to passively use NV while maintaining a shoulder on the buttstock and not having to crane my neck to get behind the dot. It needs to be high and out of the way because a cheek weld under NV is non-existent when using head/helmet mounted NV.

I prefer 12 o'clock.

I run a Trijicon Credo HX with just a lighted dot reticle, so no need for an extra dot sight.

If I was to go with an external dot, I'd put it on top for ease of use with NVGs
