I wouldn't fear a PLA thing first use; but cleaning it thoroughly enough to re-use is going to be a challenge without special effort applied to finishing it after printing.
Beeswax temp: Thermal mass of the print is probably high enough that it sucks the heat out of the wax before melting much surface feature. in this case, smoothing bumps is beneficial.

Beeswax melts at about 65 degrees centigrade. Going higher than that discolours it and if you go very hot, when it sets it cracks. These things would seem unlikely to be an issue when using it more like paint.
