A weather sealed lens means that the chance the lens breaks when there is a bit of moisture is lower than with a non-sealed lens. But if it breaks, don't count on any weather sealing warranty! They will always say the wetness was excessive. I have read this many times here and elsewhere.
I would be terrified going out in a kayak with any expensive gear, weather sealed or not. If the kayak tips over, good luck!
The 40-150 f/2.8 is an excellent lens and the TC is great too. I'm very happy with them but I would never ever take them for a spin in any environment where there is a risk of them getting really wet.
I generally don't capsize kayaks. Also, my kayaking experience also includes shallow water bathymetry with thousands of dollars of gear on board. I'm used to having a degree of risk while paddling.
Geez, I do.
I still have the scar on my neck from being dumped out in the surf when I was in my twenties.
No way I would take anything beyond a point and shoot unless it water proof......maybe one of the Nikon AW cameras.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
