Just do it! It takes about 30 seconds to create one. It's going to take a long time before these communities, especially the more niche ones, require full-time moderation. Something like AskLemmy might be a big undertaking, but other niche subs are going to take awhile before it's too much for one person.
And hopefully by that time, others could help out with mod duties :)
I did that twice on Reddit. One time, the sub was flooded with spam and adverts. 90% of posts were ads from the same commercial account. The second was overrun with hate speech and threats and I just had to shut it down (admittedly it was a sensitive subject at a heated time).
