I'm afraid to hit mine with too much water. Am I being too paranoid?

Again, amazing difference from 'Before' to 'After'!
I can't speak for OP, but I had similar results when I cleaned my engine bay. I taped off the engine compartment with plastic and masking tape, then wrapped masking tape around anything that looked sensitive (sensor wires, etc). I hit the engine bay with a regular hose, then used Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner and a cheap paint brush to get into tight spaces, then rinsed it and applied some 303 Protectant to keep the plastic shiny.

I was also concerned about using too much water or a pressure washer, a regular hose with a nozzle used sparingly worked very well for me. Keep in mind the engine bay "should be" able to handle some water, since it is exposed to the elements from the bottom.
