Pigment inks in an inkjet can be just as waterproof. Several years ago, they even made dye inks waterproof on the right kind of paper (and that was before the days of Claria ink).

Given all the colour-correction malarky required with dye-sub inks due to the phase-change during heating, and the potential pitfalls of overheating a sticker, putting regular stickers through a regular printer would seem to be more sensible.

I know we all love our dye-sub systems and we want to use it to do more and more things but this is more like reinventing the wheel than using the right tool for the right job.

Yes the pigment inks would be waterproof, but not so sure of the availability of exterior quality vinyl using a standard inkjet printer. I'm sure I'll be corrected swiftly!
