It was common - in fact almost universal - that salted paper prints were "varnished" with a beeswax and lavender oil finish upon completion, for exactly the same reasons you opted to varnish your prints. I'm not familiar with the product you're experimenting with, but if it is designed for this kind of usage, then why not? The prints look great, and I know from my experience with salted paper prints, the wax finish amplifies the contrast and appearance of D-max of the print.
Do it your own way and be happy with the results!
