I usually wax the hull and put on two coats of ablative paint. My marina does this and they are the ones allowed and all the subcontractors are not able to work until restrictions are lifted on 5/4. Of course that could get extended...

Should I expect any long term implications from skipping bottom paint and wax on the hull for one season?
 
You could check the condition of the paint. Two coats should last a few years, depending on how you boat. As for the wax, Would depend on the condition of the gelcoat but I would at least try to get the hull waxed before launch.
