My experience with touch is it works ok as long as you do some arbitrage. I've implemented four touch quadrants on my display and it works good enough in the rain (quadrants are linked to play/pause/next etc for music) that it doesn't do anything I don't want it to do. Only downside is sometimes it misses a hit in the rain.

Weather sealing is quite doable if you accept you need a boatload of glue and you coat your 3d printed case with proper car lacquer or at least a thick coat of acryl. Use reinforced filament, and at least something 70c+ resistant (so no ordinary PLA).

I've driven it plenty in the rain in NL (not this display, my own).

Garmin Edge 10X0 series is touch only (except for pause and lap button). Was a bit apprehensive myself moving to 1040 from my old 5X0 series with buttons only, but no issues in weather so far. More reliable than a phone display with droplets.

I gave up on bike computers years ago after a couple of tries to find one that would survive New England winter. Then I realized I didn't really need to give a crap about anything a bike computer was telling me.
