So I bought my first iWatch 9 a couple of days ago… just getting used to it, coming from Fitbit Versa 3.

I have no issues showering in Fitbit (hot steam and all). Has anyone showered w your iWatch for awhile and no issues or is it a bad idea?

The steam isn't a problem. But the water pressure of a shower can exceed the limits of its water resistance, and the various chemicals that you use in a shower can degrade the coating on the watch. So, not recommended. Swimming is fine.
