I drive the wheels off of my 911, but when it's not being driven, it's parked inside a climate-controlled garage, away from the elements and sunlight. So, I personally don't bother with anything. The leather wears very nicely, but as @craig66 noted, it's advisable to avoid an ingress/egress strategy that does a lot of dragging on the bolsters.
If your car spends a lot of time outside in direct sunlight, tint isn't just for looking cool. Good tint can greatly reduce the amount of UV that gets to your car's interior making it last longer and look better.

Avoid parking in the sun.
And also clean up any mess as soon as possible, and try avoid eating/drinking in the car.
All of the above will do more than leather conditioners and Witch's brew on the market.

Agree with the comments about entry/egress. I posted recently about the early signs of wear my drivers seat is showing through navigating through tight garage access.
In the past I've had good success with the Autoglym range.

Common sense stuff; like cloths with dye transfer potential/issues, or belts with metal studs and metal rivets.
Don't turn your car's cabin into a cafeteria.
And good technique and cadence with a product like Zaino Z10 Leather Conditioner.
Use a sunshade for the windshield when parked outside.

My worst problem is the tan leather and blue jean dye transfer - even with the most faded jeans, it happens quickly. I've resorted to a tan towel in the seat as I got tired of cleaning it off. Love the tan leather, love my jeans, but they do not love each other! If there's a product that protects against that, then I'm in.

My GT3 gets Swissvax Leather Milk.
Daily driver Audi gets CQuartz leather coating.
Cleaner for both, Leather Masters. Zaino Z9 is great too.
To get into my car, I always put one foot in, get the lower half of my body in there, place myself onto the seat, then put other leg in, key is placing yourself onto the seat and not dragging across the seat, either bottom or back bolster.
If you're using your car as a daily driver and getting in and out of it with scrubs, based on your username, I'm guessing it would be less of an issue.
