I'm left eye dominant and it also has the better sight, so it gives a much sharper picture than using my right eye. Is this a common thing to do, or are their some downsides re accuracy?

I'm also right handed and left eye dominant.
I do shoot with my right eye for precision though, just fine. But then, I can also swap to RH RE just fine.
My wife just realized she is also left eye dominant and found it's changed her game. She isn't too experienced, so we swapped her to shoot left handed as well. That's working great for her, she just needs to work on strength.
The conclusion I have come to is... no one is the same. The degree can be tiny.
Saying that, the ideal is to shoot the hand your eye matches.
If you shoot cross, do get some help with an instructor to make sure you are not compromising your arm position and grip to make up for it.
