It depends on the goal of the coating . . .
Anything that insulates the surface will elevate the material temperatures of the pipe. That will reduce the oxidation life of the pipes (and fatigue strength). If the benefit is worth the lower life then, mission accomplished.
This why Larry Vetterman recommends no outside coatings.
