If you mean decompression just into RAM, UPX is not needed. But if somebody wants do decompress the driver INTO FILE, then UPX is definetly needed. About UPX and drivers:
I've tried to pack some MZ-style DOS drivers (USBASPI.SYS, DI1000DD.SYS, ASPI.SYS) with UPX - sometimes effect was unpredictable (especially when DEVICEHIGH=...); when 15Kb driver expands to 45-50Kb it can damage some UMBs. But in your case risk is minimal...
P.S. I don't understand the reason for flamewar - sources are opened, everybody can make non-UPXed version.
