I don't know. However, Org-mode shouldn't mess with your diary unless
explicitly asked to. (I don't know that for sure, since I don't use the
diary, but one of the design goals of Org-mode is not to impose any
feature on a user not wanting it, and it does it really well.)
Also, do not fear the complexity of Org - due to the design goal
mentioned above, you could just ignore the more advanced features and
treat it as a simple todo-list manager. Though the fear that Org-mode
will gradually creep into your brain and take over more and more of your
life (starting with its digital part) may be legitimate;-).
Hth,
