Maintenance is easy, just clean out right after use, and heat it up to get the water boiled off (or towel off) and line with a little oil. First couple times you use it you need to add some oil and cook just the oil on high heat for a minute, then wipe out before you cook to help built that patina / seasoning

Just make sure you season this very well before you start cooking on it. Many YouTube videos on seasoning. I spend 3 hours or more seasoning over the gas range. I wanted to get the sides seasoned well on both the inside and outside. Some people would season in oven before installing the wooden handle which is easier and more uniform. However if you do that you risk ruining the wooden handle that permanently attached to the wok.
After I cook I use one of these to clean off food bits. NO SOAP JUST HOT WATER and elbow grease.

The I immediately put it on the stove top and use some tongs with a folded paper towel with Canola oil to reseason the wok on BOTH sides. The bottom of the wok will scrape against your metal grates and could possibly start to rust on the bottom. I then let it cool and then store it my cabinet. I lined the drawer with a plastic Contac Liner from Costco so that if there is rust or too much oil from my seasoning the pan it won't stain the cabinets.
I have this exact pan. I wanted to reseason and I stripped the seasoning off, but then stored it away without reseasoning for a month and surprisingly it didn't get any rust from that. Conversely, my wife put another pan inside this one and some water got in it (the pan was probably wet when she put it in the wok) and it made a rust circle where the two pans touched

But I would not call it "lots of maintenance." In fact, nonstick-coated pans require more TLC than this wok does. You just have to learn how to use it.
I have this wok and found that it seasoned pretty rapidly. I'd say it's easier to maintain and clean than any other cookware I own (nonstick, stainless steel, cast iron).
My routine: Immediately after cooking, if any food at all is still on the wok, with the wok still hot, I pour a little water into the wok, and over high heat, bring that water to a simmer. Then using tongs, I toss a chain mail scrubber into the wok and rub it around in the simmering water. I then pour the water off and put it back on the heat to dry out completely. Finally, I don't do this every time, but sometimes after it's cooled, before putting it back in the cabinet, I'll put a couple of tiny drops of oil on it and rub it in good with a kitchen towel.
The only thing that ever goes into the dishwasher are the tongs and the chain mail scrubber (I recommend getting a quality chain mail scrubber).
