I live in Europe and 1 year ago I set up my ETF account investing in Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (VWCE) and I keep investing money in it periodically.
VWCE is an accumulating ETF which is ok for now since we have monthly salaries (and dividends are highly taxed in Denmark).
Americans and Europeans have conflicting laws on investments, so hopefully you're not an American citizen living in Europe (subject to both!).
Selling stocks used to be expensive at full service brokers, so getting some money in dividends might have been more efficient. But with selling ETFs costing nothing (at U.S. Vanguard), you can get dividends or sell shares. Tech stocks don't tend to pay dividends, but have performed really well for the past few decades. Excluding tech stocks just to get dividends could be a mistake.
I looked at separate developing and emerging market UCITS for Denmark, but their expense ratios (0.20% and 0.23%) don't leave room to save much compared to the all-world UCITS you mentioned (0.22%). If you held 80% developed and 20% emerging, you get an aggregate expense ratio of 0.206% compared to 0.22% for the combined fund (both accumulating versions). But an extra $1.40 out of every $10,000 probably won't make or break a retirement... after 70 years of compounding, it almost adds up to 1%.
