I'd like to try and substitute YAML with CSV.

Since there's no UI to add and edit records, this kind of management is currently done by a bunch of Ruby scripts.

After spending a lot of time writing and adjusting fragile scripts in Ruby, I grew convinced it would be way simpler with running SQL queries on top of the data. Since having a dedicated DB would be an overkill here, having the data in CSV files should fit perfectly, as since Jekyll supports CSV data files out of the box.

CSV will be a little less readable for a human being though, but it's a trade-off I'm willing to take.
