Don't be afraid to access v$ views, just beware of the bug that throws a ora-600 when selecting 'filter_predicates' and 'access_predicates' under 9202. As a workaround, don't select those two columns. If I were you, I'd make sure that users are *very* clear that the number you are going to get is an 'ESTIMATE' only.
We run with statistics_level=ALL, haven't seen any noticeable difference, YMMV.
