In heat and high humidity many orchids are prone to rot if they stay wet too long. Not many people wet all their plants in pots every day.
Most people who use misters to water their plants in an open greenhouse grow the plants on mounts, not in pots. This gives them a chance to turn on the misters once, or several times per day; the plants get wet, then dry out some between watering.
It is conceivable you could turn on the system and water the whole collection every few days if you left it on long enough, but most people's plants dry out at different rates, needing varying watering intervals.
Many other people use the misters to raise humidity, not to water the plants. They water their plants the normal way, and have sprayers under the benches to increase humidity. This way the mist stays off the plants and reduces risk of rot.
If you allow your water to dry on your truck windshield and it leaves spots, it will leave spots on your plants.
Mister coverage varies wildly by manufacturer. It is dependent on pressure in the system and the nature of the emitter. Most true
misting heads cover a lot less space than you are contemplating. Lawn sprinklers could wet your whole collection.
