Welding the seams will do very little. VWs don't develop stress cracks at the spot welded joints, therefore the spot welds are plenty strong enough.
It is well known that auto makers have reduced the # of spot welds in order to speed up manufacturing. These improvements didn't happen until the late 80s, long after our cars were made.
