I make a conscious decision to do lunar viewing either early or late in the sesssion... I will focus on that & only after I'm done will I wait for my eyes to dark adapt again before I go chasing other targets...
I find not using a moon filter means I get better detail at the eyepiece but, that's my experience..
Since ND filters are fairly inexpensive, buy one, try it out, see what suits you best, it's a personal thing I feel...

I definitely feel confident giving myself the chance to try out the scope without feeling like I 'Need' filters now. Such great info from people on these forums.
Thanks
