I am with you. Curbing prevents erosion of your lawn and keeps some vehicle tires off.
I run and occasionally get caught in the rain. We get gully washers here. There is actually a current in the curbed streets that is hard to walk/run against. They do direct the storm water better than uncurbed streets with little slope.
I would also look at how high up the entrance to your home is. If we have several rain events in a short time, the ponds may overflow like during our last big storm. Water was at the top of the street drains and ponds. The Villages does a great job with storm water, but one more storm and some homes would be visited by water. The villas/homes with minimal driveway slope on streets with no curbs could see damage.
