It'll be fine it is better to make a decision than not to make a decision
Maybe I'm a harda** but I always fight to make sure that the candidate we go through with is a completely perfect fit. If I get pressure, I remind them how much more time it takes to fire someone, only to find someone else who is better suited for the role. The time spent on finding the right candidate is always worth it.
I've never obsessed over things like that as you really never know how someone will perform until they're in place. We've all seen great candidates who just struggled for some reason, and we've all seen the opposite. Sometimes the person with rough edges rises to the occasion. It's entirely possible that the person in which you have little confidence will surprise you in all the right ways.

I'd give them a chance first :) They may surprise you!
