Only if you do not rely entirely on sneak attacks to win your fights. As a rogue, your two other main weapons are spellscrolls/wands and traps. Luring an enemy over a well-prepared line of traps can be very, very effective. Casting an appropriate spell at any point during a fight can swing the odds in your favour. I myself played the game through with the level 1 version of my original OC character, a halfling rogue, and between wands of lighting and fireball, (sonic) traps and Deekin's Wounding Whispers was able to kill just about anything (though it did take some effort at times).
Well, except for some elementals during the early stage of the game, but I was ill-prepared and alone then. I did, however, get them to die in the end using my cunning rogue's mind...

Shadowdancing is nice but not required.
