For any commercial project, I feel exposed without a couple things in place: a good SCM system that supports concurrent development among team members

I think Mike and Jerry have summarized the, "Is it worth it to even bother with SCS?" issues very well. If managing your SCS is too much work, it's because you are not managing it effectively. You don't have to write a treatise for a one-line change to a three-file project, and even a commit with no comments will save your butt when you need to roll back to a previous release. A SCS makes this dead-easy.

And on a tangent from this theme, my experience is that if you stash
your SCS repository on a server with a regular backup routine already in
place, your code is much more likely to get backed up than if you just
keep it on your development box. Individually, it may not be hard to
rewrite a three-line shell script. But you'll be in a world of hurt when
your disk dies and you have to rebuild 100 three-line scripts from scratch.

and a solid, web based issue tracking system.

Two projects I've found to be very useful on this front are CVSTrac for CVS (http://www.cvstrac.org/) and Edgewall Software's Trac (http://www.edgewall.com/trac/) for Subversion. Both are free and Web-based. Features include repository browsing, Wikis and ticket-tracking systems that are tied to repository commits.
