I think that will just make future touchups with polish a problem. The bare polished aluminum should be just fine and when you wax and polish the rest of the car you can do the wheels too with no worries.
I doubt any clear coat is going to make the polished aluminum look any better and perhaps get dull as the road grime abrades the clear coat. The bare aluminum is harder than clear coat so it will do better on its own in my opinion.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that I noticed the polished aluminum is so smooth that dust has a hard time sticking and just blows off. It would be interesting to hear if brake dust is also less because of this.
