I don't know the structure of the software so wether or not it's a nightmare I cannot judge.
But it's only half of the measure. People change avatars all the time, so setting a single persons avatar to 'show' or 'ignore' will not really work.

I see more in the way of SFW and NSFW avatars.
Everyone can use 2 avatars. One SFW and one NSFW. Then in the user CP everyone can select "show avatars: sfw / nsfw / none"
Allowing some control over the types of avatar you see.

Of course this would still need moderator help (people using nsfw avatars makred as SFW), and it will not prevent mushroom clouds but it's a start.
Then again, deciding what is and is not SFW will probably still lead to discussions.

(Edit: my above suggestion could also be changed like so:
add a marker "NSFW yes / no" in the avatar section that defines the nature of the avatar. Everyone would still have one avatar but wether or not it is displayed depends on the viewers "nsfw avatars on / off" setting.
Am I making any sense?)
