Plus 2x B+W UV-FILTER MRC nano MASTER 77mm as protection. It shouldn't be a degradation of IQ, right?

There is no conclusive answer to that question. The only effects that CAN happen is a degradation of IQ though. Either by strange patterns in the image, additional flare, loss of sharpness, loss of contrast, additional never seen before effects, etc...

Buying super expensive glas with the latest coatings and than slapping a cheap UV filter in front is never a good idea. Do this only if there is imminent danger to the lens (e.g. because of using it near salt water). In most cases it is sufficient to use the lens hood.

I am more afraid of those little fingers of a 3 and 5 years old nieces of my wife 😬 But if fingerprints can by easily removed, than I can give up on filters.
