I believe this addresses your concerns:

There's ample motivation to choose the option you want for the content that you want. As long as reward/difficulty/time spent is balanced I don't see how that couldn't add more to the game whilst still providing immersion and a potential form of quick travel for those who want it.

I love your immersive dynamic content idea, however as I'm sure your aware If that choice were to be presented the hard way would have to out way the easy way with benefits, as does anything of that nature.
