Very kind of you to say. I honestly get a lot from this thread too but I am able to answer some of the stuff I've been working on for years with some authority.
I hope someone else has a good solution for leaving them as is because I don't get asked to do it professionally so I'm not sure.
I am starting to look at linseed oil paint though. That might be a possibility, it supposed to be great on eco and durability and there should be a clear version.
Certainly with Oak, painting it can actually reduce the longevity because some paint systems will trap moisture next to the wood.
