i’d supplement with dips so you aren’t encouraging an imbalance in upper body muscles. you can get straps that hang from your chinup bar to do them on if there’s nothing convenient around.
According to wikipedia, dips mostly work the “triceps, with major synergists being the anterior deltoid, the pectoralis muscles (sternal, clavicular, and minor), and the rhomboid muscles of the back (in that order). ”
An imbalance in upper body muscles indicates more development in particular muscle groups in the upper body while neglecting the other upper body muscles that balance them. This can lead to posture problems and in the worst case injury.

Aren’t those all upper body muscles too?
