I think vented hood or not the engine bay gets wet in heavy rain.
Dealerships often pressure wash engine bays with the engine running apparently, to save time.
I pressure wash my engine often, and turn on the car to dry it out.
Maybe not a great idea if you have exposed filters on cold air intakes...Not sure about that.

That being said it would probably be fairly easy to fab some removable rain guards that attach underneath the hood if you're really worried about it.
