I'd say buying a RTW ticket in F is well worth it, but it really depends on what you make out of it.
Many airlines don't offer first class anymore (as you say), and others only offer it on selected routes, so it's very easy to end up with way too many flights in C as F is simply not available on these flights.
Creating a good itinerary really requires a bit of work and a bit of flexibility.
If you are flexible and prepared to do that work, then go for it!
I believe there is a thread somewhere in the *A forum with all *A first class routes, might be a good start.
