No "slow, grazing collisions".

Even at the low orbital velocities out there, small objects will still fall onto surfaces at the escape velocity of the primary. Relatively massive objects like Pluto will still be covered with craters, much like our moon which is of similar mass...unless...there are other geologic processes that tend to fill them up--like glacial deformation. Indeed, these will be wonderful places.
