Personally I wouldn't want to rely on the tiny wood joint between the riser and the hull to take any load. let alone the abuse of a skirt and resting your weight on it as you enter and exit the boat. Mine are glassed, it's where the strength is.

Agreed. If you're going to coat with epoxy anyway, it's not a big deal to lay some glass in there.

And, some day I hope you might want to actually do a 'T' assisted rescue with a heavy boat resting on your coaming, or even a 'fun kayak trick' like this one from Leon Somme and Shawna Franklin:
