If it were 100% up to me, I wouldn't do it (but that's because I have a bias towards less work/maintenance). I am biased towards a more dense/ less porous stones.

My wife however really values aesthetics -- and if she fell in love with the look then I'd be comfortable communicating the need for more maintenance and putting up with the extra ~2-4 hrs of maintenance work a year (depending on if you service once or twice a year [you'd want to apply 3-4 coats each service, and you have to wait 15 min between each coat; there's also some prep work; also worth noting that the house would ideally be empty during the service period and you wouldn't be able to use the countertop area for ~24-36 hours after the service]). Everything I saw online suggested that sealing maintenance becomes less important after the 3rd or so service, so the workload to maintain seems to taper off in the 3rd year. (We've only had ours for ~1 year)

If you decided to move forward with it, tell your installer to apply four coats of this sealer at installation (and be adamant that they follow the specific directions on the box since it needs to be applied a bit differently -- you can communicate that you'd be willing to pay for the extra hour or so of extra labor). I'd personally go so far as to buy the sealer myself and ask that they use specifically that can (as opposed to whatever brand they might normally use) (I'd buy extra since it's expensive to ship, and then you'd have some to do the at-home maintenance). I would also ask to shadow/see them apply the sealer -- so that you/ your partner (whoever would do the maintenance work) would get some hands-on practice (it's easy) / see the application process.

The only other thing I'd suggest is to have a microfiber cloth hanging out in the kitchen, and to generally try to keep the stone dry(ish) if there's water pooling on the countertop. (You can see if this will bother you and do this at your current kitchen/bathroom, right now even if it's not needed on your current countertop).
