I have two resonators. One is a modern Gold Tone Beard that is set up for fingerstyle, and it's action is as low as an electric all the way up the neck. The other is a 1935 Model 25 Dobro, and it's got 1/8th" of "relief" in the neck and until I take the fingerboard off and straighten the neck, it's pure bottleneck all the way... So I think playing a resonator anyway you want to is perfectly fine...
