2) I have a hosta bed against one side of my house. The style of roof I
have (mansard) does not have a gutter, so there is a drip line to contend
with. I've tried to deal with it in various ways - last summer, I mulched
very heavily, but when it rains hard, the Hostas still get badly splattered
with mud and look awful.

12 inches wide would be as wide as you would have to go- Were I have had this
problem I have the rock down and the Hosta leaves cover up the rock. But the
rock does not look bad-so you can even have it exposed.
