So, assuming I do not intend to submerge my Naos 85, do I need a separate pack cover, or is the waterproof-ness of the pack sufficient without a cover?

You should be fine. When i had my bag in Chile, it was outside my tent for 6 days in straight rain. The tarp and tent that we had started to leak. My bag was perfectly fine. I had it with the zipper side on the ground. The material is def waterproof. The top (brain) compartment might leak a little though after a lot of rain. ... I guess the bottom line is that the bag's waterproof rating is far superior to any bag cover that you would put over a non-water proof bag.
