If you're comfortable with SQL: stay with SQL. Load should absolutely not be an issue with your estimated traffic - and even if I could tell some scary anecdotes regarding MySQL: it is pretty stable. Please also note that all my Postfix instances are using TCP, not local sockets. And it still performs very well! "Dump to flat files" is an option, but I don't see any reason why you should do so: it just adds one more layer of complexity to your system. If you're writing an SQL frontend you have all config right there in realtime, are not forced to reflect about possible locking issues (what happens if you run your "recreate-flat-files"-script simultaneously more than once etc) - and if you add another Postfix host in the future all you need to do is providing it some credentials to connect to your DB.
