If I was flying someplace where I expected to be out of radar
contact for a significant amount of time, I would probably be more
concerned about airways.

Yep. If you were going to be IFR out of radar contact in most airspace,
you'd have no choice *but* to be concerned with airways, because you would
be flying them exclusively.
