I have a Wolf winder as well, but I find that I lose a couple of minutes per month. Maybe I should have it serviced.Any watch without a battery needs to be worn daily or on a watch winder. . . that's not Rolex specific. I've had mine a decade and it's never been serviced. What they recommend isn't what's "required".
My DH loves watches and collects Hublots, so we have a 3 watch winder that we keep our watches on when not worn. If you'll only wear on weekends, you'll need to wind and reset it or keep on a winder, no matter which brand you buy if it's not battery powered
Not my experience at all, no need to wind when it's been on our Wolf winder.
Would you say that your Rolex is low maintenance?

Maybe! Mine runs a smidge fast if I wear it during the day and it sits at night.
If DH puts in on the winder a few days while I’m not wearing it, it keeps better time. May be the setting on yours as well, the one he puts mine on is for Rolex, his 2 are for Hublot.
Re the comments about servicing Rolex:
A watch needs servicing for four reasons:
1. inaccurate timekeeping
2. Dirt in the movement
3. Lubrication.
4. Case polishing.
Rolex are very robust timekeepers, the movements in Oyster cases are completely sealed, new lubrication materials mean almost unlimited lifespan, and with care the case does not scratch (unless you are a coal miner or something)
Rolex are not alone in this. All well made modern waterproof watches will run for a long time between services.
Rolex now advise ten years between services.

- How often do I need to service a Rolex?
I have a vintage (1970) DateJust that I wear as an “Office Watch” and love it. It is practical, beautiful and reliable. It is the classic Rolex. It was the first ever watch to have quick date change.
I once sat in a meeting with senior bankers, and every single member of the meeting wore a Datejust.
You have made a very wise decision.
