Couple of weeks without feedback probably answered most of your concerns.
Personally, I view them like Sharkhide(TM) (
https://sharkhidestore.com/). If you ever had Sharkhide on your toons you will note that rubbing up against things like pylons and other toons while rafting, tends to wear that stuff down to original aluminum in very short order leaving you with bright aluminum shining through the duller sharkhide. I can't think that wraps would be much more durable.
