I occasionally carry things in the bed I do not want wet at all. Hunting trips mean duffle bags, sleeping bags, pillows, guns/bows, bags of corn, etc. Or a vacation trip without RV means luggage. I had a full hard fiberglass cover on an earlier truck that overlapped the bed rails and tailgate. No way for any water to leak thru at the top. Only possible place was to blow in the small gap between the side edges of the tail gate and the bed. But I also had a Bed Rug that closed that off.
A few small drips shouldn't be a big deal with those items and shell won't necessarily be much better.
Luggage for example: If you've ever flown on a rainy day, the bags wind up out in the rain as they get loaded...but we've never had an issue with the clothes being wet when we get to our destination.
If there is an item of particular concern, pack it toward the center of the truck bed.
