Yes you’re right. Apart from the benefits of namespaces, there are no benefits of namespaces.
But be sure to consider what would happen if you later do add more external scripts, or make your own scripts more complicated. Namespaces are quite light and easy to set up, and it’s never harmful to be tidy from the start.
