Those seats are the same ones offered for digital lottery winners ($45) when I went last Saturday matinee. I sat in F 17 I believe and funny enough there were about 12 seats in front of me that were empty so not sure if they had not given out all of their rush seats.
I'd say the view was very good and only minimal obstruction, mainly in act 3 where a few characters were out of view for very brief pockets but honestly the dullest of the four acts so I felt like I didn't miss much and this obstruction didn't apply to Cate, who was in full view. I'd say I saw 90% of the show just fine. There are moments where characters face each other so you get the back of their heads more than you'd like or stand in front of one another blocking your view of a character that may be standing further upstage, from these side orch seats. From my seat, def missed a little of Cate's face in act 1 but no obstruction in act 2 where she was at her best, I think house right may have missed her a bit more during this act. Again, no problem with regard to Cate in acts 2, 3 or 4 from my seat.
Though, I'd expect you'd see less if sitting in any rows in front of F that are also on the furthest aisle like my seat was.
