I work with WordPress almost daily and this is the first I've ever heard of Timber.
It might be a good tool for someone like yourself, but I personally do not think I'd ever use it. To me, it adds another layer of abstraction between myself and what I'm trying to make WordPress do.
I would also be concerned with plugin compatibility issues when altering the standard WordPress loop as you had mentioned.
WordPress is kinda weird and unique in the way it works. It's different than all of the MVC frameworks out there, which makes it difficult for people with programming chops outside of WordPress to get the hang of. But I'm a unique case. I learned things the "WordPress way" and I have a more difficult time grasping MVC.
The main things I'd worry about here are support, future road map for the Timber project, and compatibility. But in the end, you gotta use the right tool for you to get the job done.
The Underscores theme that you mentioned is great though. I use that as a starter theme on many of my projects.
