Yes, this was a bit of a crapshoot. Given the length of the shower (note, it's tub sized) we tried to get away without a full door. You can't tell from the picture but the tile extends a bit onto the wall for some additional protection and I built the curb up a little higher.
Water outside is minimal, some times a little splash some times none. It's definitely not enough that I'd get a door fab'd which is still an option. I'd rather not spend the money as it would be another 8-900 bucks.
As for chill, we'll see this winter when things are cooler, but it's not an issue yet. I put in a decent size inline vent fan so the exhaust is really good.

This bathroom is in the basement of an addition and sits on a slab that's cut into a hill. They put the lav on the step to make room for the waste pipe, as I'd assume they didn't have proper access.
House is a 1920 cottage and the addition (around 1991 I think) was a total hack job. Really bad work. Guys cut every corner they could. They spared every expense...like joist hangers and electrical boxes behind light fixtures 
I've since fixed most of the problems that could actually be a danger, but it still ticks me off.

Reminds me, I need to get a good one to put behind the door. It's the only place in the house will a full length mirror.
Might install a special "shoe only" mirror just for kicks

And so much of it is in the planning before the execution.
When we built our deck my wife didn't understand why the stairs stopped 2-1/2 feet in the air.
Answer: Because in 6 months that's where the ground will be
