Rain etiquette for group rides...

You're worried about wearing your brake pads??? What about washing the
grease out of all the bearings and filling your chain with grit?

If the rain wahes your bearing grease out, you're using the wrong sort of
grease.

As for the chain - Wipperman link + degreaser + lube = 10 mins

I'm pretty sure I've been using the right grease, but if you ride ofte
enough in rain, especially heavy rain, and you'll have to regreas
bearings sooner than if you rode exclusively in dry weather. Anyway, m
point wasn't that cleaning is onerous, it was that brake-pad wear is
pretty trivial thing to worry about compared with the other things!

I 100% agree with your chain recipe.
