Yes, the vast majority of my dirty travels is leading a group, or solo, so almost never following. I don't believe the filter would be dirtier when following someone with the deckplate removed vs. the stock intake. Both options would be super dirty. BTW, the dirty filter in the supplied picture was cleaned several times during the week by beating it on the ground (you can see the deformed plastic where it was damaged from beating it on rough asphalt), while the clean filter pictured was not cleaned. A snorkel is the next step, primarily to pick up clean air, more so than to not ingest water.
