I had the same concern before we bought our Sabre. It has the offset prop with folding 2-blade, so it's a double whammy. In addition, I knew we'd be backing into our slip...and with a difficult approach. And I'm no genius boat-driver.
But for what it's worth, my concerns were unfounded. Just like any boat, after a couple times in reverse, I got the feel of the helm, and I find I can back to port or starboard once I have a little way on.
It just wasn't a big deal.
