Well, it still matters whether you're a massively winning player or a marginally winning player.
Online is not my area of expertise. Live, the opponents are atrocious, but the schooling of many atrocious opponents creates huge variance. It's almost like a mini tournament. Also "buyin" is a vague concept because PLO should and often does allow buyins from sub-100 BB to maybe 200, or uncapped in the bigger games.
In general with a little study I think you can beat a live $1-2-(5 to open-limp) game for enough that 20 * 100 -> 2000 bring ins ($10k) is enough to stay solvent 99% of the time, but that's just my guess.
