no not really.

ive seen someone make a full site from the ground up on vBulletin alone so its more than possible.

if you start hacking theres no reason you cant continue to the next version very ezily

vB is farily ez to change granted your change isnt a drastic one, i my self knew almost no php code a while ago and now im writing my own hacks

i dont think Invision or phpBB would be suited nearly as well for the tasks. if your going to be building directly off of vB you can use vB's built in templates and conditinoals, which will allow you to also use the login (via the template system)
