Oh yeah, I would not recommend skipping those early episodes at all. They're very important, not just for establishing character dynamics, but seeing where they come from makes those later Crowning Moments of Awesome even better. (If you never watched Usopp's arc, some really emotional stuff later on would probably not make quite as much sense.)
(Shit I just watched episode 17 again and I got all teary towards the end. Usopp is beautiful.)
And definitely, the fact that this is a shonen where members of the team don't become completely fucking useless is great. Even the strongest Devil Fruits have a weakness beyond the obvious sea water or kairouseki stone.
