Being a huge fan of RDF, I say, plow ahead and you will find the immense benefit of it.
OTOH, many developers are, for reasons similar to what you’ve stated, not as excited about RDF as I am. Therefore there are now many Solid libraries that abstract away from RDF some similar to ORM tools many are familiar with. The Inrupt Solid-Client library, LD-Flex, and other tools and libraries can be found here.
As for having to think about data (a separate topic from RDF), yes this requires some effort, but it is an absolutely vital thing that needs changing in the computing world - separation of data and apps is key to user control.
