NOT AT ALL, Node.Js is really simple and creating a simple crud app you don't have worry much about.
You might be talking about the initial set-up time, you have deal with creating a server, routings, database connections etc.
But see all these things you must have to handle by their web server f.eg. nginx, Appache, IIS or TomCat.
but with nodeJs you can do all this right from the beginning of your app which is really cool.
