Not sure you can use the PWM dimmer with the EL strips as they are AC powered…
EL strips themselves are AC powered, but the inverter is DC -- see https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pnpages/10-00321.php and https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/14vlightinverter.php for example.
Now, will the inverter handle PWM DC? That is the question...
Buy & Try -- it's only .93 AMU
If you're not committed to an EL strip for your glare shield try an LED strip instead. Something like this -

One of these will definitely work with the GAD-27.

Gotcha. It should have occurred to me that you're already looking at that.No, I'm not committed to the EL strip. In fact I'm all setup for LED through the GAD27 and have the strip.

Tagging on to Bob/rocketman1988's post, the EL strip's DC-to-AC inverter could be an EMI generator if it's not properly designed/manufactured. Might be worth checking out on the bench with a handheld VHF radio before a permanent installation. Apologies if you're already looking at that as well.
