With regards to the nuzlocke, I did a Nuzlocke on Touhoumon Emerald (the hard one with Champion Nitori). It wasn't at all that bad. Gave spots to train off wild Pokemon for the first and third gyms. Though yes rematching trainers can end up being death (stupid Beauty Jessica and her Level 80 Yuugenma), it was overall pretty good. Definitely not as grind heavy as a Nuzlocke of Insane Version is (Note that I'm very crazy).
As for overall difficulty, seeing those levels and such right after Brock isn't too bad, though I can see why it would cause problems with the experimenting playstyle. I've personally never played that way, so my advice is pretty flimsy. But it is pretty difficult to match up with rom hacks and your playstyle, since the person who made the hack has the final say on what playstyle they feel would be best. Like a "hard" rom hack would have the grind heavy style while a "casual" rom hack would be more for experimenting. You don't want the game to be too easy, but you also don't want it to be too hard. It's pretty difficult to balance. I'd try out several different hacks and see if one fits.
