In heavy rain the Nomad is not going to keep your stuff dry so you are correct. When I use mine I just tend to use either a dry bag or garbage sacks.
I don't tour with mine though. Makes for a super grocery getting trailer. The flatbed is a great trailer. I'm partial to Burley. Well made and great customer support. I think they are still hand built in Oregon? I can't remember for sure on that part.
