Yes, otherwise the transition would be rather jarring from setting the wrong first impressions. IMO the roll-and-keep system isn't hard if you introduce it right.
The XkY system at its core is "roll X d10s, count the Y highest", although the factor of exploding dice and specialties does add a layer of complexity. You can simplify it to merely "add +5 to the final result for each die that turns up 10" for explosions.
If you're playing with actual dice, I could see why you'd want to simplify it. Personally I just keep an offline copy of Roll20's Dice Roller page to make it easier for me. There are other utilities out there that can help the counting of dice.
