There are many different conformal coating materials.
First any coating will interfere with the components cooling. Think it like a winter jacket on a 90 degree day not good! So you want to make sure what ever you use does not cause things to overheat.
Acrylic or Polyurethane or Epoxy conformal coatings are by far are the most insulative material. Silicon would be the better choice but it still has its issues! Once you apply it to your logic board you won’t be able to service your system as the silicon will interfere with soldering.
Acrylic should only be used if you where using liquid metal TIM and only on the CPU base nowhere else.

Best not to do it at all and focus on managing the dampness! You need to use a good Desiccant in your computer bag. Use a plastic bag and suck out the air before you leave an air conditioned office so the condensation of the outdoor air does not get to your cold computer. Let the system warm up to the ambient temp of your home before taking it out of the bag. Use a dehumidifier where you use your laptop!
