You can. But it's much more complicate to configure ...

Remember most people are not using kismet and wireshark, I guess I'm protecting myself against the average Joe plus it is just a good security practice. Am I still subject to a drive by war driving, sure. ...

I've seen these kind of discussions a lot of time.
3 year old kids think they are hidden if they just put their hands on their eyes ... that's similar if you hide your SSID ... and block foreign MAC addresses ...
Use a safe encryption algorithm (WPA or WPA2) and a secure PSK and you don't have to worry about any attacks.
