IE: this tent would be good for 4-5..
As an example, Camping Guidance on YouTube did a very extreme weather test of TNF Wawona 6 which has a partial fly that gets a lot of criticism, but not only did the tent survive the rain and wind, but it was 100% dry inside even when the yard flooded and had the base submerged completely. So unless you're camping in extremely heavy rains that blow upward due to 50mph winds I don't think you have to worry. And since this is a massive car camping tent, you'd probably be carrying a tarp you can throw over in those 1-in-100,000 weather events.

I recently bought the Moosejaw tent deal but I'm thinking of returning that if this one is decent enough to wait for. I don't do camping but wanted something that was decent to camp in the backyard if our toddler was interested, and then maybe use it for actual camping at camp sites if he's interested in that. The Moosejaw one was priced at $99 and looked nice but now I'm thinking might have been too much to spend.

IMO you should stick to Slumberjack awnings and tarps only.

Vs an actual Wawona 6: https://www.rei.com/product/20431...ona-6-tent
(Note the Slumberjack is a knockoff of the 2020 Wawona 6, not the newer one)

A window that is closed with a zipper isn't going to be waterproof though, unless a waterproof zipper is used.
I've got a 10 person Coleman that not only funneled rain into it, but had a "bathtub" floor that kept every bit of it, causing a half inch of water to accumulate. Fortunately air mattresses keep you out of the tent-turned-pool.
I did buy the Ozark Trail 10 person insta-tent from the last FP deal, but it looks like it would flood for sure. There was a Moosejaw 8-person with full fly and vestibule that looked up to the task, but then it wasn't tall enough for us to stand up in.
