I see your point, but it's not just that. Monsters still have both high AC and BaB at that level, so they will always hit the fighter, but the fighter will not always hit the monster, thus high level encounters are no longer properly designed for the ability of the characters. Do you think this is a problem?
No I still don't see this as a problem. The whole idea in low-fantasy, low-magic, gritty campaigns is that things should be hard and somewhat lethal. There's no reason that a 20th level fighter in one of these campaign types should beable to defeat a dragon. In fact, I think its better that high CR monsters wil retain their high AC. It'll bring the fear back!
