Accommodation in South America - book here or just rock up and find there?

At least in Bolivia you shouldn't have any problems. You can usually go and find available rooms in any hotel here.
It will be even easier for your if you don't have special needs.

South America is BIG! A generic answer is difficult to give. I have traveled in both Chile and Brazil without any reservations. Having either a hamock and/or tent was sufficient.
I tend to travel unprepared by default. That is the fun of traveling in my opinion. But I take the risk that I will have some frustrating days, looking for accommodation.
Another factor to consider is if you speak the language. If so, you have a much better chance to find accommodation on the spot since you can simply ask around.
I assume for places like Rio or Sao Paolo, the same applies as in other metropoles such as New York, Shanghai, etc.
Also don't expect many possibilities during the upcoming world cup or carnaval in February.
To know if you should go unprepared I would ask my self the two questions: 1. Do you speak the language, 2. Is some level of frustration acceptable? If you answer both questions with, No. I would make reservations.
