No barrier is "normal" and acceptable. Certain composites and gelcoats are more susceptible to blisters than others. A lot of people/builders simply monitor for signs of blisters and then repair them with barrier coat. Our series of 37+ and 34+ where supposed to be built with one of the less susceptible gel coats.
If you've gone almost 25 years without blisters, I wouldn't waste my money with a barrier coat now.
