This will slow you down a lot, of course, and greatly increase the cost. Because for overnight stays you'll need proper visas for a lot of places where visas aren't easy to get on short notice and/or expensive. Most of those places will be in Africa. And you'd definitely need multiple passports, one of them will always be parked in some consulate awaiting a visa.
And in a place like South Sudan I'd probably rather take off again on the next plane out.
