Just use a separate `custom-file'. Customize does not
_want_ to fiddle with your init file, but if you do not
tell it another file to use instead (`C-h v custom-file')
then your init file wins.
For simple stuff, yes, you can code such customizations
by hand. But why do that (except to practice and learn
more, which can be a fine reason)?
And for stuff that is not so simple, it is better to rely
on Customize. It knows the customize code better than
you/we do.
Some user options have special initialization or setting
functions that are triggered automatically by Customize.
If your hand-written code uses `custom*' functions then
it is probably OK. But if not then it risks bypassing
those triggers.
