YMMV. For simple stuff it's actually great and has been wonderful for
casual editors I've asked to try it. The problems really come on
complicated pages.

If they're creating completely fresh articles, I don't anticipate huge problems.

If problems do happen, the VisualEditor tag is monitored closely
enough they'll be picked up as bugs.
