The reason I lean towards not requiring advanced skills, is that I know people can offer a lot as admins without it. Personally, I have no JS knowledge, and only basic CSS and template skills, but I have a lot of experience in other aspects of adminship.

I guess my worry at the moment is that you won't find enough people to be admins at the moment, if you set your sights too high. But on the other hand, any admin should know enough to know what not to change, and (as you say) enough to recognize what edits are the likely cause of problems and know how to revert it. So how can we change that sentence to get the right balance? Got a suggestion for text that won't be too exacting, but will ensure admins are skilled enough not to break stuff?
