Box it in is the best option. There comes a point where style should
give way to practical. Anything stored up there, or just left empty
is a dust collector. Some people might use it for storeage but I
wouldn't. I am 6' but still need a 'grabber' or stool to get things
off the top shelf of the cabinets as it is.

I agree with you Harry. Having had upper cabinets both ways I prefer a
soffit over the cabs rather than open, or have the cabs go up to the
ceiling with smaller compartments and doors along the top; which catch
all the stuff you tend to forget about :-)

Another consideration is to lower the entire ceiling and have recessed
lighting and add the cans as well. Like this:
