With current tight tolerances in engines, won't even minimal rust compromise the engine?
Then the second thing is hydrolock. I'm sure most people that has anything to do with performance in their cars will know what that is. Anything goes wrong in that engine, water inside cylinders will result to hydrolock and we have a dead engine. While computer electronics can control it, introducing such a element in an engine doesn't seem like a boost of reliability to me.
Last thing is the rapid heating and cooling of the engine rapidly. I don't think many common elements can withstand that kind of abuse easily without breaking down prematurely.

I don't think hydrolock is a concern here. It's not like you're shoving a hose in the intake. The water would be injected the same way fuel is, atomized into a fine mist, not poured in from a bucket.
