There's a considerable number of historic handguns that came equipped with oiled wooden grips from the factory and wore them for years without any significant problems.  Sometimes they were stained and varnished.  I guess the point is if the grips are well made, well fitted to the gun and properly secured they are likely to last quite a while.  Hard use and abuse will take its toll over time but I've seen guns treated like that where the metal parts were in worse shape than the wooden ones.      Enjoy you handiwork and decide later if stabilization is something you're interested in doing.

I know it ups the toughness game considerably.  Try caving a set of grips from stabilized blanks sometime to get the general idea.   

Yeah, it's pretty easy, but there some additional hardware requirements, with the vacuum pump and chamber.

Not worth doing for a one shot, but if you're planning on doing a lot, then...
