Files are still at risk since the virus has _read_ access on them.
As an example viruses replicate by reading mail adresses into files.



The only way you could store personal information outside of your home
directory is by running as root, which is always a bad idea.


Not necessarily. I have a data partition formatted as FAT32 to be shared between Linux and Windows 2000. This partition is mounted under a "windisk" group which has R/W permissions (umask 0007). I can then work with my OOo documents whether booted to Win or Linux, and I also have Thunderbird under each pointing to the same mail files.
