Although it might look like chain waxing is a lot of trouble, it simpler than using wet lube ... in my opinion anyway.
The only benefit of the chain lubing is that the chain works great in cold weather. Which is important but I still did not give up the hope to make paraffin waxing work.
You wrote that the wet lube works well in summer, and (above) you wrote that it "works great" in cold weather, too. The conclusion seems pretty obvious.
By the way, you can just drip wet lube onto the chain as you give the cranks a couple spins. Then spin them another 15-20 times (five minutes is not necessary) and wipe down the chain. Again, it might take two minutes if you're slow. If you think that waxing is "simpler," then I think we must live in different time/space dimensions.
And as someone else noted, KMC (and perhaps others) makes a rust-resistant chain. I'm running one on my commuter and have no complaints. And it was cheap.
