Seems like a terrible idea to me.
You make one mistake one time and bingo, you cost yourself a few grand to have it sanded, leveled, varnished, and polished.

No, but cooking pots could fall and those have sharp lips which will indent the floor. Same with other hardware like cutlery.
And I will handle knives more likely in the kitchen than in the living room.
What else are you going to put in the kitchen though, carpet?
Ceramic tile is tough as hell and cleans easily.
Tiling
That’s like 5x the cost though and you’re likely to break anything you drop onto it like dishes or bottles.
Our kitchen has laminate plank flooring and it has held up really well. I believe it’s original which means it’s made it 22ish years so far with part of that time being a rental full of college kids who apparently stored all their literal garbage in the garage and put a bunch of holes in the walls.
