An electronic lock doesn't have to be impenetrable, just take more than 5 minutes to break into. This is about as long as a determined thief might spend picking/breaking your regular lock before they're in or they move on to the next target. If you add a bit of obscurity in the mix you could be just as safe. A smartlock that looks like a regular lock, or has all the "smart components" on the inside of the door (like smart bolt-on key turners) would not stand out.
I'm thinking of building a elektronic lock solution myself because it would actually increase security for me. As currently I often neglect to lock the doors when going to the back of the yard. Mostly because I don't have the key on me. And my kids are at an age that they will still neglect it for many years. A quick drive-by thief could be in and out in no time. An electric lock with a rfid and keypad would be a proper solution as it always locks when you close the door and are never locked out (unless the power fails but then you use a backup key stored somewhere safe).
