I just read through the thread.  The polish is certainly better than paying Panasonic $300 to replace the EVF, assuming the scratches are not too deep and you are very careful to polish gently and evenly.  However, there appears to be an optical surface coating, and I wonder how that might affect the viewfinder quality, or if that coating provides some IR or UV filtering to protect the display chip?

In any case, I hope that the new GH5 uses a glass lens with a tough coating!
