I dont't have an outdoor shower yet, but I would very much like to put one on my "ohana". They can be absolutely gorgeous. See a fine example of one among these photos:

I am near the ocean, as is the house in the photos above.
I would want my shower to have a covering over it, perhaps one that retracts because, as we learned in December, it can rain like hell right on the coast, too.
I think there WOULD be times when it would be too cold for an outdoor shower. My sister and I were staying in a vacation rental in Kapoho in February. We had to get up early to go the airport. I am glad that the shower was indoors at that moment. I am sure it would have been fine later in the day.
Still, most of the time I think it would be not just fine but fantastic. There is nothing like showering outdoors in Hawaii, although I think it works a little better on the dry side.
I would not want my outdoor shower to be the only available shower, but if there were other compensating factors (price etc), I would not be deterred. And, it sounds like you have the plumbing to install a shower laters indoors if you wish.
Instead of sleeping on it, though, perhaps you could "shower on it"! Go over at a time of day when you might ordinarily shower, and take one!
