I'm very interested in the Versys 300X. But you are correct about the exposed exhaust system. It reminds me of my Suzuki V-Strom's exposed, unprotected, and vulnerable exhaust system. And when, or if, I purchase the 300X, the first purchase will be a skid plate. Because I will be using the 300X both on and off road. I've already contacted some after-market accessory providers regarding the availability of a unobtrusive skid plate for the 300X.
The safety of the exhaust system on the 300X is also a reason I'm looking at the BMW G310GS. It has a very unique exhaust system that exits the engine from the rear of the engine, very similar to the Cannondale dual sport motorcycle of quite a few years ago, before filing for bankruptcy. No need to worry about the possible damage to the exhaust system.
