I use the hood to protect the front of my lens.

Be afraid of that thin filter shattering making shards of glass which WILL
scratch that coating. Otherwise the coating is not likely to have anything
ever happen to it.
With a uv filter you are degrading a lens which is a work of art and cost
you as much now as tens of thousands of dollars.
And professional and serious photographers will just when they see it laugh
at you for being an idiot.
But go ahead and buy the filter. Protect your lens!  You're worried.
