Well one of the main reasons we decided against high walls was it made it difficult to traverse the server via /fast (trust me, this is a valid concern). Hence we made the rule that walls could be up to 12 high (since /fast still allows you just to jump over them). The other reason being they can be annoying to look at on neighboring plots.
Personally, I don't think we (staff) should be able to restrict what a member decides to build on his/her own plot (as long as it is not detrimental to the server server in any way). A plot is your plot, and you can build whatever you want on it. Walls are useful for planning and some people like them for seclusion from other players. Many people also have walls which people can sign their names/leave messages on, which is an aspect of this community I've always loved (best example of this is proper's wall back on the rdf/now).
I suppose a compromise would be to make your wall have an open bottom to allows players through in /fast, or make it not take up the entire length of your plot, put holes in it, etc. Also, ask your plot neighbors if it's alright with them. Just generally don't make walls that will piss people off.
