I wonder if NuTone listed this for use in a shower.

No, I asked them to provide that information along with proof of listing.

Even if it is listed for "in the Shower", it will not last
long........Most light \ fan combos are manufactured
for a short life-span.
The manufacturer's have figured it out !......Designed
in obsolescence !.........Just keep on consuming !

Just redid my stall shower and the "GC" proposed doing the same thing. I nixed that.
It needs a weep hole in the center of the lens.

"UL Listed for use over tub or shower with a GFCI circuit; that means you can control ventilation by locating your fan exactly where you need it the most"
I am a true believer when it comes to keeping a bathroom as dry as possible. If a fan is in a shower stall, it will be pulling lots of moisture out of the bathroom. That's okay up to a point.....the point where the moisture condenses. The misuse of bath fans by installing long tortuous vents makes me think that these shower fans are not such a great idea. Not because of any particular danger but more due to rot.

It turns out that it was only listed for use above a tub or shower area if it was on a GFCI protected circuit. Changes were made and now it is compliant with its listing.

Potential for mold growth due to condensation in pipe?
