We've built and used "open" gearboxes in our drive trains for as long as I have been on the team (going on 9 years). While I was on team 11 before that we used open gearboxes in the drivetrain. I can't say I ever had an issue with debris causing a failure in the gearbox.
One advantage to the closed gearbox IMO moreso than keeping debris out is that it keeps grease in...However thats more of a minor annoyance than a critical design criteria.
