An unencrypted boot partition opens the possibility for someone to be able to  
install malicious software, since it can be read from and written to without  
any problem.

Indeed. However, encryption only makes a difference in a scenario with  
physical access. That is, in this case, someone booting a Live system on the  
computer and changing the kernel in /boot.
