This is very case dependent on what your site or app does.

Should it stop you from building it? Probably not.

If you don't incorporate or incorporate improperly, you'll likely be personally liable.

There are tax and legal consequences for launching without incorporating. You can always form later - but what is "ok" is again case dependent.

It would make sense to run your concerns by a lawyer or a community like HN, but to help we'd need to know more.

It could be expensive either way, but being properly incorporated potentially will protect you from personal liability.
