I would put some visqueen under it just in case you ever decide to enclose it.

Vapor barrier and it helps transfer any weight over a larger area lowering lb/sq in.
I would advise using a WOVEN weed barrier cloth instead of visqueen. Usually available from a nursery or garden center. It’s what is used under roadways.
Also reinforcement wire or light rebar to spread weight and avoid cracks.

Helps keep moisture from coming up through the slab from underneath.

It keeps ground moisture from coming up into the concrete. Also If there is too much moisture in the concrete flooring glues will not adhere properly. Same reason you put it under your house slab.
