Managing the stats sheet ourselves should be fine. I already do my might accounting myself anyway. The issue Capy raised is a good one, though: finding a relatively fair way to decide on Turn changes.

I think a randomly selected player would be fine on average. At the start of each turn, we could select one player (randomly using the Dice functionality, which would be a transparent method) to be in charge of the changeover to the next Turn. It would be expected that this chosen player would discuss the timing of the Turn change with the group, but ultimately that player would be responsible for posting the Turn change. Should there be an issue, such as said player being unable to change Turns due to absence, or major disagreement, then responsibility can fall on either another randomly selected player or on one of the GM team.

If we cannot trust randomly selected players with this power, then I propose an alternative, albeit more complicated, system. We have a poll of some sort, open for the whole turn. When a player is ready for a Turn change, they indicate so on the poll. Once a particular quota of players (say, 50%) have indicated a desire to change to the next Turn via said poll, then the Turn change will occur. The Turn change itself and the managing of the poll could still be delegated to a random player, but the decision won't be theirs.

P.S. With the former method, while the player may still have biases, since the player is randomly selected it should balance out over time to something resembling the will of the group as a whole.

On another note, here's something to think about concerning how screwy our rate of technological development has been.

Consider just the hain, living in most of Galbar, ignoring the established cities and so forth.
Gerrik invented fire (technically, the first reliable method for creating fire), as far as most hain are concerned.
At the present time IC, Gerrik isn't especially old yet (he is old, but he has not yet exceeded a natural lifespan).
Therefore, the times before fire are still in living memory. Many hain probably still eat uncooked food because that is what their parents and grandparents did.
Yet we have the beginnings of nations.
Granted, Phantasmagoria caused a fairly major global paradigm shift, but still.
