I think you should be ok if the boards are glued to plywood. The plywood should constrain the wood movement.
As for finish, if the boards have started to get punky, you might want to look at a wood stabilizer. I’ve used one on some spalted burl that was a bit too spalted. It’s a very thin two part epoxy that absorbs into the wood and then sets. Otherwise a drying oil like boiled linseed oil might work. I’d try it on a scrap piece first.
