Will steam damage a waterproof speaker?

No. IP67-rated speakers handle steam, spray, and even full submersion. Steam is less intense than the submersion they are rated for. Just rinse the speaker occasionally to prevent soap buildup in the driver grille.

How loud does a shower speaker need to be?

Shower noise is about 70-80 dB. A speaker producing 80-85 dB at 1 meter cuts through comfortably. All speakers on this list exceed this. The JBL Clip 4 and WONDERBOOM 3 are the loudest.
