Compensating open source developers via GitHub Sponsors. Good or bad?

I've been kicking around this idea of sponsoring developers via GitHub Sponsors to work on feature requests on our (RudderStack's) open source software (GitHub repo here).

I'm of the opinion that just because you are doing work on open source software doesn't mean you shouldn't be compensated. I know some people don't agree with me on this though.

What are your thoughts? Is compensating open source developers, in our case via GitHub Sponsors, to do work on open source software good or bad?
