Protection from rocks can still be had from boots with a stiff sole, and most boots have a stiff sole. If you're kicking shoes with the toe cap, then you really should look into fixing how you walk.
I'm with you on keeping rocks out. That's nice. Fortunately you can have the same benefit by using gaiters. Dirty Girl gaiters are very popular on the PCT for that reason.
The other thing I like about waterproof boots is that they keep out fine sand, which means my feet are clean at the end of the day. It's not worth all the extra sweating on a long hike though, at least not for me.
Personally, I recommend looking into Dirty Girl gaiters and using them with non waterproof trail running shoes. I don't use them though because sand and rocks in my shoes doesn't bother me.
Btw, I screwed up my ankles wearing high top hiking boots. I actually twisted my ankles more with them than with low top trail running shoes. I understand needing ankle support, and sometimes I still need it, but I don't go to high top boots for ankle support. When I need ankle support, I use this ankle brace with my trail runners, and it's pretty good at providing support while being comfortable enough to hike in. When I need even more, I use this ankle support, and this one won't even work with boots.
