I brought a wet AirPod back from the dead last week using rice. It does work, sometimes.

It doesn’t, what you’ve got is either a device that was sufficiently waterproofed (Which maybe aren’t AirPods waterproof?)
Or a device that’s working on borrowed time, the minerals are still there being deposited on electronic components as the water evaporates on its own. It can take some shorting here and there, but it’s only a matter of time before it becomes too much. Could be a few days, couple of weeks or even months and then POOF dead

Uh, how mineral rich is your water?!
