To answer the original question, if the world builder uses both the available resources correctly, it should never be apparent to the player (unless they're a camera-hack using deviant, in which case they deserve what they get
) that there is water out there, so it shouldn't matter at all.
I'm sure that the reason the default is for the world to be surrounded by water, is that water which is completely flat and infinite in extent is perfectly natural in our experience... whereas the same is not true of land. If you have an infinite extent of completely flat land, it would look weird and you would have to cover it up anyway one way or another, so why bother providing it?
The way the Sims solves the problem of infinite distance is pretty much the way ALL computer games that I've seen world editors for do it *shrug*.
