Do you really think that some wording on a document lodged at Åland Registry will stop done ignorant barstool abusing your land with or without RoW? If you're this concerned now walk away and buy a detached with no open plan nonsense that you can fence all around. Anything else will be a compromise to one degree or another.

Guess it all depends on whether OP can afford a house like this without the access problem (ie that would probably mean a dearer house then).

As for if someone tried to take more in the way of access than they are allowed (whatever that allowed level is) then there are always outside taps and hosepipes and gardens needing watering at times...

As I understand it, a ROW is allowed for getting through from A to B and parking isn't allowed on it. Now, if this is the case for a ROW that is a road, then I imagine there is a very similar criteria for ROWS that are "rights of access" in someone's garden (ie the one with permission can literally walk through, but isn't allowed to do the human equivalent of "parking", ie standing there or placing any of their possessions on that access way).

OP knows themselves a sight better than any of us would and will therefore know how likely it is that anyone would have the chance to "overstep the boundaries" re how they use that right of access or whether they would "deal with it" if it happened and the "overstepper" wouldn't try twice.

Personally, as a dog owner, I would not buy a property with a ROW going through my garden. The possible exception to this would be if the ROW was at the side/bottom of the garden and fencing could be installed to keep my garden private and secure. There's no way I'd effectively put my dog's security into someone else's hands, especially not with recent changes in dog ownership law.
