You are of course free to use or not to use the API. However if you do =
use the API and follow the common practices in Drupal (to use entities + =
field API) you get all the integration that comes with it for free. If =
you decide to go you own route, you have to take care of all the =
integrations yourselves.

150 tables for a small site, 300 tables for a medium sized site is no =
exception. Fields will be responsible for 25 - 40% of the number of =
tables. But how many tables will you be able to save, and how much =
coding effort do you want to put into it? Working around Drupal is not =
easier than working with Drupal. Both have their learning curve.
