But wouldn't he have taken the journal by now? He's had plenty of opportunities (though Tourist Trapped is the only one to come to mind, I'm sure there are more) Nobody noticed the change in Dipper's eyes in "Sock Opera" so why would he need to choose a host with eyes that look like his?

As far as the 'not noticing the eye change', I think that was just an animation choice. It could very well have been simply so the audience (us) could tell who was who. (And, if you've seen The Secret Saturdays, there was some body-switching, but the creator noted that the eye change was actually just a production error)
