Ok, so maybe manually executing CREATE is not a great idea, but what
about performing queries with pure MySQL, is that fine?

Good knowledge of SQL is needed anyway even if you're using SQLAlchemy. Just as you should know HTML if you create web sites, even if you're using higher level or wysiwyg tools.

And even if you don't want to use ORM part of SQLAlchemy, you should still use the lower level SQLAlchemy. For instance, SQLAlchemy provides proper connection pooling and a SQL expression language that helps you create queries working with different databases (e.g. PostgreSQL instead of MySQL) and not susceptible to SQL hacking.
