Nope, it should work.  It was even updated not all that long ago.

You can also create accounts via the old XML-RPC protocol;  which is
what is used by the LDAPAccountSync tool included in OGoMojo.

In general I'd avoid direct SQL modification of the database.  If there

limitation/failure/flaw in the provided tools and merits [IMO] a bug
report.
