Root Armor mask makes things a tiny bit easier in swamp when it comes to not needing potions and the chest piece is super useful in the plains due to pierce resistance.

Iron Sledge isn't a requirement for beating Swamp and usually even after killing Bonemass you'll be visiting other swamps for iron when it comes to building / plains items.

I'm not saying it's not doable, but the sledge does help a lot in that fight. I might use it sometimes for things beyond that, but I usually rely more on the iron mace.
