The hood can remain on the lens in reversed position, no bulk there. The hood for the 12-24 is not big though.

Anyway I would always use a lens with its hood, specially a wide angle lens! No matter the focal length, this lens will be prone to flare as there will likely be some light source somewhere near the frame.

I heartily endorse that. The hood will also protect the lens against damage in some circs.
