Question Replacing VW Head Gasket

Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding using sealant on a head gasket.
I'm working on a 2002 VW Golf with a 2.0L engine.

I'm replacing the head gasket because I had water leaking into the exhaust which has clogged the 02 sensors, (both) and is clogging up the CAT.

The Fel-Pro gasket I bought is a MLS gasket (Multi Layer Steel) and according to Fel-Pro no sealant is necessary.

I was considering using a sealant only because this is a big job and I'm spending a few hundred dollars on O2 sensor and a CAT and I don't want to have to do this again.

Do any of you have experience using sealant on MLS gaskets?

Thanks in advance.
L
