If you want to actually create the armour/weapons you don't really have much choice other than putting points into it. It doesn't become really overpowered until your smithing upgrades are the last couple of tiers (and it becomes totally broken if you start smithing them beyond that).
So long as you don't wind up with like 100 Smithing by level 25 the difficulty curve shouldn't be too badly effected. Armour it probably won't make much difference on without lots of perks invested in light armour, its mostly the damage inflicted, especially by sneak attacks, which becomes very powerful.

. Only level 53 conjuration so couldn't have bought the spell. Still took about 3 Dremora Lords and loads of firebolts to take him down.
...I have come across loads of things randomly that I have not seen before, and quite a few side quests as well...I never even knew there were Orc Strongholds in the game! let alone quests associated with them. And I have just been exploring aimlessly around the bottom of the map and came across the quest "Siege of the Dragon Cult". Forelhost is an epic dungeon! ...I think they kind of went mad with it and said "lets just add one more path" a few too many times
...I got lost quite a bit! The Dragon Priest mask isn't all that though. And the Draugur Deathlords were no pushover, but since I have maxed both sneak and archery, I managed to get through it with the help of Aela the Huntress.
