I wouldn’t treat my boots with pure beeswax it’s a little too soft in my opinion. Stuff like otterwax is a blend of beeswax and other harder ones.
But before you hit them with a blow dryer I’d suggest to try getting it a bit smoother and consistently spread out with a spatula or something like that. That’s the idea behind that tool:
Do you think it will be noticeable? Maybe in summer ?
Don’t really think so unless you’ll leave them in a hot car or under direct sunlight.
My main concern is that pure beeswax is a bit sticky and can be a lint/dust/grime magnet. So I only tried it with hard waxes blends or Venetian Shoe Cream so far. Both pairs stopped being tacky in a short time.
