My 991.2 Cabrio is my daily driver and I don't cover it everyday. I do travel a lot and when I know I'm going to be away from home for more than two (2) days, I throw the cover....
How much time it takes ? I have never measured how long it takes to install it or take it out, but it is so fast that I do it almost every time. I do it specially because I want to protect the top (even that I treat it every 6 months).
Regarding the ceramic coating and your car being 7 years old, I would recommend going with a professional detailer. I bet he would need to do some paint correction before applying any ceramic coating. They will need tho thoroughly wash the car, clay it and polish.
When I asked a professional detailer to do my car, we used https://gtechniq.com/products/auto/ products. Specifically I went with the Cristal Serum Ultra which is supposed to last several years. I also applied an EXO coat on top which is hydrophobic. Similar treatment was done to the rims and windows of the car.
I do the normal maintenance and I use their Liquid Crystal product to keep it shining. It is worth it to spend some money on a professional treatment and then you can continue doing normal maintenance.

Will do several calls to detailers.

I do the maintenance of the top and I do it every six (6) months more or less. I don't have the amount of products that you guys have in the US so I typically use the original Porsche Top Spry protectant, They guys at my local dealer give me a really good price so I will typically use between two (2) or three (3) cans every time I do the top treatment. With that, it has stayed like brand new.
