It will be fine if you attach to each opto (anode pin 2) a pullup resistor of 1.2K to 12V (anode pin 2) and connect all cathodes (pin 3) to your cybernetics circuit output. And voi la you have a superiour and extremely scalable driver for any cluster of FET drivers you have built already.
The FOD3180 will do the sharp edges for you. This is why it was built. Do not mind the edges of your cybernetics driver.
I hope this is what you what to know.
@ALL:
1. Please understand that driving with 555 is a quick and dirty solution - very cheap and quite good for your money. Therfore I promote it.
2. Better is to use dedicated FET drivers spending some extra bucks.
3. Superiour is the solution with FOD3180 but you spend again some additional bucks.
It is left to your choice!
All three solutions do not suffer on poor driver edges from your generator.
