do I really need to waterproof
I have a three level split..so technically the first level is not a basement. However, the first level has cinderblock walls and we do run a dehumidifyer. I am replacing the panelling and also the glued on carpet with new panelling and tile. I can use drylock on the floor- no problem. But in order to use it on the cinderblock walls, I would need to remove all of the furring strips and then replace them. How important is this since this level is mostly above ground? Thanks for any advice.

Basement moisture problems
You can prevent most basement moisture problems:

The research does not tend to show that basement waterproofing coatings are "expensive paint." While coatings/sealers will not resolve moisture problems, they will reduce vapor transmissions in masonry walls and floors.
