Observations:
1. These are your in-laws. Chances are they don't have a litter of kids
wreaking havoc, so the chances of catastrophic abuse is minimal.
2. To ally your concerns, add to the project the installation of nylon
feet/sliders on the furniture legs.

Make sure you have a few extra tiles in the closet. Just in case.

I put them down for my father inlaw without problem.

I used them in my laundry room 15 years ago. Besides the laundry
it serves as the passageway to the garage, so it gets considerable
traffic. They have performed excellent.

But in the case in question, since they are going in a kitchen and
dining area and they like a parquet look, I'd take the inlaws to look
at Pergo and similar laminates. For a 150 sqft area, it would not
cost all that much more and IMO would look a lot better.
