He looks like he's been sitting in the tank for years and no customer has given him a second look.

He looks like all he wants is to play clarinet, hang out with his best friend and get home to the other side of the galaxy.
What's the point of arguing with unsophisticated rubes?
No, it didn't. One of the show's biggest problems was that the character is barely verbal and doesn't show his face. Made him impossible to really get to know as a character. He's a cipher. He's just an avatar of a "cool badass" without any true depth or personality (beyond his relationship with Grogu.) For much (but not all) of the show, it was a huge problem.
I wouldn't recommend that you watch any Clint Eastwood westerns in that case.
For you. However, as many have stated, here and other places, the show and character are popular enough to demonstrate that the audience doesn't need to see a character's face. Personal engagement will vary.
It's a space western, the western genre is full of quiet stoic characters who have difficulty being vulnerable and are put in situations that make them awaken to their humanity.
Action characters with witty banter are entertaining, but that banter is comic relief, not character development. He develops through his care for Grogu and how he reacts to the more emotional people he's working with.

I didn't think so. I actually found Din a lot more talkative than I was led to expect, and Pascal and his suit doubles did an excellent job conveying character through vocal performance and body language. I was surprised by how expressive just a slight tilt of his helmet could be.
But then, I have decades of experience watching Power Rangers/Super Sentai and other shows featuring heroes with fully covered faces -- heck, you can go back to the Spider-Man TV series in the '70s for that. Not to mention plenty of experience with media where you don't see human faces -- animation, puppetry, live theater (when you're far enough from the stage), radio, and of course prose.
Yes, I edited my post on further thought. That must have crossed streams with your reply.

To clarify, yes, there was usually a mix of dialogue-free sequences of mood-setting or action and more dialogue-heavy sequences of plot and character interaction. Some episodes rode more heavily on the former, others on the latter. Jack had plenty of dialogue, just not when he was fighting or wandering the world by himself.
Maybe you're thinking of Genndy Tartakovsky's more recent series Primal, which is about a prehistoric human who doesn't speak at all (except maybe briefly in the finale, I think I read? I never watched that show).
No.
Not in canon, though Ackmena the bartender played by Bea Arthur is now canon thanks to a Disney Era book.
Way to save the only redeeming part of that special.
Just one more round, my friends!
I kinda' liked the Boba Fett cartoon...
