Question about skipping the airlock for my pickles

I thought it was risky (no airlock), but grandma's jar method works just fine.

My trick is measuring the salt exactly with a kitchen scale. Too little and things get funky, too much and they're inedible. Grandma's jar works fine if that ratio is locked in.

Is it really that easy to mess up with just a little too much or too little salt?

In my kitchen, no airlock means moldy pickles every time.
