Sketching is great to plan ahead. If you don’t want those pencil marks to come through, then practice the composition. Get the idea into your head before. A rough drawing can give you the outlines and eliminate some difficulties.
You can always light line the final with a pencil, but if you can manage without it, then super. If not, then it shouldn’t be a problem. I personally use pencil in my watercolours but the end result is meant to be a bit different.
I like introducing different media to create different textures and contrast. But I have done it without pencil and it really is unique. You have to be precise, not just for colour choice and mixing through layers, but also where you put it down on paper.
