Speaking from personal experience, levels are pretty deeply meshed into ROM, and to do the game completely without them you'd have to change large parts of the fight code, and other areas too. I'm not saying it's impossible (we did it), but that makes sure its something you're up to doing.

An easier solution might be to remove level from PCs, but keep it as a field for mobiles - this way its easy to tweak a mob's difficulty from the builder side, and the players won't notice anything themselves.

Also, if you do go with ROM, be prepared to break out the bug spray. The first couple weeks that we ran Advent, all we did was spend time fixing stock bugs and OLC bugs. There's a lot of them. Luckily there's a number of good resource sites out there to help you out.

Good luck! If you do decide to go with a ROM base and need help with anything, let me know. I was in the same position you are a while back.
