Thanks for this post, Carlos. I'm also an HG-10 owner, and aspiring filmmaker. Like you, I've researched DoF adapters, including the rotating ground-glass/plastic DIY solution you linked to. I thought about a cheaper, static solution like you used, but worried about the dust particles. Did you consider the vibrating-glass solution?
If I do a DIY solution, I'll share it with you and other readers, too, so we can compare notes. If you're not already hip to it, you may enjoy this site and book: http://prolost.blogspot.com .

I'm not really much of a videographer, more of a photographer.
I think if you keep the focusing screen spotless (I wonder if there's some anti-static stuff I can charge it with?) then you should be okay. However, if you get a tiny spec of dust on it, it's definitely extremely annoying. Had that problem in the beginning, but so far, I've managed to avoid the problem.
