duct tape adhesive exposed to heat, freeze, humidity would give you a disgusting, gooey mess.

My 97 Camry was the same way. Many of the connectors looked like this and yes, they were a grimmy, dirty mess. After a 126K miles did I have a problem, no, at least not the I am aware of.

Pretty sure you are just looking at bare wires, that the pins that are crimped on the wires are pushed through a rubber seal into the plug giving a water proof seal. I would not "pot" the backside of the plug as it could make removing the wires at a later dater very difficult.
