For the situation regarding undercarriage damage from road salt, have
people devised a method of rinsing their undercarriages at home? A
makeshift sprinkler system, for instance?

I am considering a relocation to a place which salts the roads in the
winter and I saw gobs of cars that had rust where one would expect to
see it. And I also didn't notice any fancy cars out despite the
area.

I live in an area that doesn't experience snow in the winter so road
salt isn't a thing.
