As a NWFA failure investigator, I have seen your thinking lead to many many failed installations.

Bostik's doesn't
Mapei doesn't
Frankin/Titebond doesn't
Taylor doesn't

Stauf 960 is the only adhesive that markets and advertises it is a one application moisture barrier and adhesive. It is only good to 8# per 1000 sq.ft. of moisture vapor emissions.

Bostik's MVP and Mapei WFM, are capable of restraining much higher emission levels.

Franklin's is a 2-part epoxy coating that is rolled on.

Taylor's is the use of there MS+, letting it cure out, and then another coat for adhesion to the wood.

Why would these adhesive manufacturers make a moisture blocker, if their adhesives where a stand alone, one application moisture barrier and adhesive?
