I'm thinking specifically of situations with Palob or Kyle with the Moldy Crow title and Recon Specialist, where you're sitting on a stack of three or more focus tokens. Green dice will eventually fail you, but wouldn't it follow that the more green dice you're rolling, the more chances you'll be able to put those tokens to use defensively?
At the very least, it should be a better 3 point defensive investment than hull upgrade.
You wouldn't need Kyle specifically, in fact, you'd prefer to keep all those lovely tokens for yourself. 
.
You would, however, be piling up a huge amount of points onto your ship. Even a simple Rebel Operative would come out at 30 points, with TLT, SD, Title and Rec Spec.
Engine Upgrade is a popular choice on HWKs so obviously the points are not a concern.

...it is? I don't think I've ever seen anyone fly a HWK with an engine upgrade...
HWKs are the only non 3 agility ship I would consider taking stealth device on currently. There are some hilarious R2-F2 combos with Biggs that use it (Exp Interface, R2-F2, Stealth), but that point sink + the fact that it's largely just an ineffective gimmick, make Hwks the only option I'd currently consider.
The chance of rolling at least one blank on three green dice is 1-(5/8)^3, or 76%. If you're reasonably confident that your opponent can't find a way to get at least three hit or crit results early, then Stealth Device is a good choice.
But the existence of things like TLT and Emperor Palpatine make that a pretty shaky assumption.
I have a local friend that loves Stealth Device on his HWK's. He's stated that it saves him a lot more than one would think.
Several Stealth Device, Moldy Crow Jan Ors got fairly high at 2014 Worlds paired with Fat Falcons.

Kyle with mouldy Crow, juke, Jan ors crew and stealth device.
3 green dice with a stack of focus tokens and an evade. Could be fun. Probably not worth it
Roark Garnet +TLT +RecSpec +MoldyCrow +Stealh
Miranda +TLT +JanOrs
Blue Squad Novice +Comm Relay +Autos
No idea how its gonna work but looks promising 
Lol (80/100)
============
HWK-290: Kyle Katarn (21 + 15)
+ Twin Laser Turret (6)
+ Recon Specialist (3)
+ Moldy Crow (3)
+ Stealth Device (3)
VCX-100: Kanan Jarrus (38 + 6)
+ Jan Ors (2)
+ Recon Specialist (3)
+ Tactical Jammer (1)
20 more points for upgrades on the Ghost, or another ship. Kyle would follow Kanan around like a lost puppy.
Edited by imprezagoateeSD isn't worth it on a three agility ship so on a hwk no.
It only works on interceptors when you put AT on.
For a hwk hull upgrade would be a better bet I feel.

I'm fond of it on Jan Ors and Dace Bonearm. With their higher PS and stress-inducing abilities, it helps tremendously.

Vessery and his double-tapping Tractor Beam agree.
(So does everything in a Palpatine list. So does everything with ordnance backed by Guidance Chips. So does a Howlrunner-led Crack Shot swarm.)

That's a funny way of spelling Youngster Rage-Swarm."Sounds like a great plan."

With determination and chewie, it's hard to break her SD most of the time. I love this build paired with 58 Dash. It's a blast to sling 5 dice HLC shots
