It can be quite a challenge to manage SQL but if you just do basics like accounts it's very useful especially if in the future you do get a extra helper who has more knowledge they can set up web pages and such with information and so forth.
I've ran PR before without SQL and we've hit 280 players no problem and I've helped managed a DM server with no SQL for a few weeks which had over 400 players online at once, it's just basically to whatever your creating. With SQL you can make signatures and stats page online and such and it's way easier to manage and look up accounts once you get the hang of it.
The more difficult part of course is scripting it correctly but there's nothing wrong with learning new things.
