Yeah, I couldn't agree more 
I ride in a pair of Sidi Discovery boots, a 3/4 MX style of boot which to me, is the best of both worlds - flexibility and protection.
I dont do a heap of off-road, but when you are travelling RTW as you intend to do, who knows when you are going to hit a 100km stretch of unpaved, washed out, potholed dirt road!!
For me, you need the protection, just in case. They may be a bit hot, and a bit bulky, but then so is a cast when you have your ankle in plaster for 3 months!
Any 3/4 MX style boots froma reputable manufacturer should be fine (ATV style boots are exactly the same) which will allow you a high degree of ankle and shin protection, while at the same time allowing you to walk around and not look like a stormtrooper. I have walked for hours through markets and towns in my Discovery's, and I think they are very comfortable.
They are waterproof to boot - cold wet feet, yuck!!
My $0.02
Cheers,
