I think the complexity is around the 'Prime' flag, which has a huge impact on sales and can force you down the FBA route if you actually want to sell in volume.

('Seller Fulfilled Prime' is possible - however currently closed for new applicants, is more targeted towards very large shippers, and there is pressure from account management on utilising Amazon Shipping as part of this at least in the UK)

Yes, you need to "earn the dues" before they enable that, I think its for good reasons, they protect the product and I would not advise a newcomer to even try prime FBS if they habe a certain volume and a very professional infrastructure is needed.

They have very protective rules for sellers who sell jewlery and such, too.
