Pretty sure a big part of the danger is Raven and Vernal. It took Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury all together to take down one Maiden who was alone and not as experienced. Were Qrow busy dealing with Raven then they would need experienced people to deal with Vernal and there would still be a need to deal with the rest of the tribe. Even if they are all relatively weak by comparison, they still have numbers. Not to mention this would be out in Grimm territory and that is something they would have to be concerned about.
