Nope. I have been versioning everything from C# to SQL for more than a decade and it saved me many, many times. With Subversion too, which is far less evolved and modern than Git.

The advantage of mastering a complex tool like git and mantaining a central repository is the increased granularity of commits/branches and clarity of versioning, but if the "snapshot here and there" approach works for you, then use it.
