A light dusting one time isn’t going to ruin the coating.
No, your oleophobic coating will be fine. The coating isn’t that weak. I’ve washed my XS in my jeans in hot water and detergent accidentally and the coating was fine. I’ve also wiped my display with lens wipes for the past I don’t know since the iPhone 5 and the coating has still been perfectly fine.
You’re phone is fine there’s people that have used spray cleaners purposely on their phone screens and the coating has not diminished.
But again, don’t recommend using anything other than baby wipes for cleaning phones

‘Douse’ probably isn’t the word you’re looking for. But nonetheless, then you Certainly would not have an Oleophobic coating. Rubbing alcohol is an agent that ‘drys and strips’, there are kits that you can actually use to replace the coating, but not nearly as effective as the factory coating either.

Is it OK to use a disinfectant on my Apple product?
Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the hard, nonporous surfaces of your Apple product, such as the display, keyboard, or other exterior surfaces. Don't use bleach. Avoid getting moisture in any opening, and don't submerge your Apple product in any cleaning agents. Don't use on fabric or leather surfaces.

Why in the hell does a company sell a product that will be exposed to EVERYTHING with surfaces that CAN’T be exposed to certain things?
Stupid. I’ll stick with my 7 Plus. Works beautifully. I upgrade. It’s impervious to everything in my life. I’m not impatient. And I can do everything that I need to do everyday in my life on my current iPhone and what some people think is extinct - my iPad. And that’s what matters
So...you can’t put a screensaver on the new phones?
Practically every product made can be damaged by exposure to water, light, oils, chemicals, and other agents or toxins.
No need to go on a rant against Apple. Apple never intended the iPhone to be impervious to all substances.
