It rained in 97. They didn't do anything. It rained in 96 and only 4 cars finished. They didn't do anything either. Q1 last year was run on inters.
The cars will drag some water into the tunnel. The tires will wear but there isn't much cornering in there and the tunnel isn't terribly long, so they'll heat up some and cool down once they emerge at the far side.
Monaco is kind of a disaster to F1 expectations. Everything is weird and compromised. They just deal with it. Part of what makes Monaco cool.
