Looking to wrap (instead of paint) FJ80. Advised to bondo inconsistencies? Yes?

My FJ80 has the classic aged paint. Clear coat splotching, top coat peeling. I've been getting estimates to both wrap and repaint. Looks like wrapping may end of up being a significant cost saver. I have however been advised to bondo all spots that have the paint problems, sand with 320 and smooth out before wrapping.

This makes sense, but will this basically prevent me from the in the future getting a good paint job should I decide to go this route. I have zero experience with bondo (and body putty) other than always staying away from any vehicle that has it.
