The point of SUL is for a single login to be usable across *every* Wikimedia project. Applying it later in the game just creates massive headaches.
The point of it may have been, but a chapter wiki not fitting into the schema shouldn't matter. After all, the private/fishbowl wikis are already not included in SUL, so there goes our "every Wikimedia project".
Other chapters aren't hosted by the Foundation and don't have SUL, but I don't think they have any problems with it: wikimedia.de, wikimedia.fr, wikimedia.it, wikimedia.org.ar, wikimedia.org.au, wikimedia.ch, wikimedia.cz, wikimedia.hk, wiki.media.hu, wikimedia.or.id, wikimedia.org.il, wikimedia.tw/wikimania.tw, and wikimedia.org.ua.
In the end, it's just whichever you decide. It seems that having your own domain outside the WMF is probably the best option, it's the most versatile (can make changes yourself, can easily have a public home page, wiki for members, wiki for board, blog, internal records, etc.). So I'd have to agree with Ray, not a deal breaker. :-)
