I did it for a trip to Iceland, the land of the stone. Pick up one of those on your tyre & its rips out the mudguard.
As for mud I can only talk of UK but yes I have had the front tyre wedged fast when I did some lanes early 2005. Get for perfecting your front-end control, but not much good for forward momentum.
So its horses for courses if you are going where there is going to be mud or stones then I think it is a good idea.
