Replacing bulbs in vaulted ceilings is always a problem but to the point here. I think all shower trims are designed to drain so you shouldn't have that goldfish bowl effect you see in jelly jars and other luminaires exposed to water.
At any rate once you get 8' above the rim you are out of the shower area as far as requiring "damp" rated covers.
