You can get really far with a RDMS before event sourcing etc is needed, the benefit being both your dev and user experience are going to be much simpler and easier.

If you already know your problem domain and scaling concerns up front sure. But starting with a scalable pattern like this is a premature optimization otherwise and will just slow you down.
