Simple, vanilla js through the web - should I use requirejs?

The majority of my JS/CSS code in templates looks like this:

zopyx/zopyx.plone.persistentlogger/blob/master/zopyx/plone/persistentlogger/browser/logger.pt#L10-L30


<metal:slot fill-slot="javascript_head_slot">
    <script>
        window.__define = window.define;
        window.__require = window.require;
        window.define = undefined;
        window.require = undefined;
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" tal:attributes="src string:$portal_url/++resource++zopyx.plone.persistentlogger/local.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" tal:attributes="src string:$portal_url/++resource++zopyx.plone.persistentlogger/DataTables/datatables.js"></script>
    <script>
        window.define = window.__define;
        window.require = window.__require;
        window.__define = undefined;
        window.__require = undefined;
    </script>
</metal:slot>


<metal:slot fill-slot="style_slot">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/++resource++zopyx.plone.persistentlogger/DataTables/datatables.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" tal:attributes="href string:$portal_url/++resource++zopyx.plone.persistentlogger/styles.css" />
</metal:slot>

Very old style, perhaps weird...but it just works out of the box for all and everything and I don't have to care about the various weird things in the context of resource registries. In particular I can add and change things easily and very fast.
