Is anyone here using their inReach for whitewater kayaking or rafting? Is it water proof enough to stow in a PFD pocket?

No personal experience. It should be OK. Rated IPX7. If in doubt, ask via product support. If paranoid, consider the dive case.
In my opinion, the dive case would be oversized and far too expensive for this. I would perhaps look for a “small waterproof floating storage box”. However, I don’t think that’s necessary because of the ipx7 rating (but I don’t have any kayaking experience with my Mini 2).
The inReach Mini 2 is IPX7 rated, which means it withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
