I have found it is a great way to stay in touch with extended family all over the world. Just use common sense with it.
The point is the OP doesn't want to keep in touch with extended family but wants to use other features of Facebook. My wife wanted the exact same thing and it works fine for her. Nothing to avoid and no settings to worry about and just as anonymous as surfing the rest of the internet (so marginally anonymous).

It is only anonymous if you only view public profiles and business pages and groups. As soon as you need to tell someone this is my secret name so you can friend them and see their private page that anonymity will slowly trickle away.
It is kind of like moving next door to a relative you don't much care for and tint your car windows hoping they will never figure out who is behind that glass. Eventually someone will get a look at who you are.
