I'm developing a SaaS application that is essentially a LoB in wolf's clothing and I went with Knockout for much the same reason, I'm not a strong javascript programmer but I rapidly realised if I stuck with just jQuery I was going to be in maintenance hell.
I've really enjoyed working with knockout (so much so I've even written "components" with it (ajax file handler a la gmails but with previews etc) and I've found it to have just enough structure for the stuff I need on the front side.
It surprises me that it's not more popular than it is but maybe there are reasons for that I simply don't know or understand.
