When it gets the job done, cosmetics are secondary aspect.
I am strong believer in air bags, or actually what you have is air spring, quite different from air helper bags.
Heck even my 2004 wagon has air springs, while my 2008 F350 is rattling my dentures off on steel suspension.
Unless you plan driving on gravel roads, I don't think you have to worry about shielding the bags. On my Prevost with full air, front bags on rear axle have been exposed and it took 20 years to get the wear out from road debris.
Sounds like with your source replacement bags in few years can be cheaper than worrying about shield.
Now you can worry about straightening that wheel cap. ;)
Happy camping.
