Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

These coatings are primarily to inhibit rust. They aren't marketing gimmics but aren't essential either if you keep the chain reasonably clean and dry it after getting caught in the rain. Friction reduction is what chain lubes are for.
