But then I get the impression Joss mostly meant being able to do what he wanted with CGI, rather than actually making things global in the sense of recognisably moving beyond the US...
Well, this is true - but how many locations did we hit in S8? Scotland, England, Italy, Cleveland, New York, Germany, Japan, Tibet, and now San Francisco and London. (Did I miss any?) We never had that on the show, so part of Joss' plan clearly seems to have been to use the comics to exponentially broaden the scope of the story and make it a global conflict, whereas the show was always restricted primarily to Sunnydale.
I mean, if he didn't care about accuracy, he could've done that years ago - and the entire world would look like southern California. :)
