I don't think that's bad. Only move as far and as fast as you're comfortable. You can get into Lightning nodes in a few years if you feel to exhausted now, there is nothing wrong with that.
I also don't think people have to understand the nitty gritty of the protocol - understanding the high level idea is completely enough to run your own node.
