I would personally not recommend this just for the basic rules. There are only two basic scenarios out of the box and I don't think the expansions add to that.
I would agree with you on this and add that the advanced rules can be added as wanted. No need to add all at once and only some if you want. I found this makes it easier to learn and play. Although I have not had much time to do that lately.
