Yea, smc is kind of an advanced method of trading. It simplifies the market structure to the extent that even a newbie with lot of practice can decide to trade on his own. It very simple all you just need to understand is the market structure and dynamics. To me, advanced traders combines the price action as an extra confirmation for their trades using smc. I also do same and it works for me. You just have to know that nothing will work 100% in the market as the market is ment to manipulate traders. So even if you have been able to master the smc concept, you still have to look for high probability trades.
