It all comes down to cosmetics.
A nice shiny floor or a flat/dull floor?
The negative comments about waxes or ccoatings are related to durabiliy,
sensitivity to moisture and wear characteristics.
in your case, the waxing or coating would provide a shiny or gloss
finish.
Thereafter you could get away with a water buff (talk to a floor
cleaning source) and spot touchup without having to recoat (for
cosmetics) for a long long time.
The minimum would be a water buffing for removal of debris, dust and
marks on the surface.
Good Luck!
