Are they deeply religious? You need to be able to differentiate between typical "he's not good enough for my little princess" in-laws and "For her to marry a non-muslim is to betray her family".
The former will work out in time, her happiness will take priority and they'll either accept you or grin and bear it for her sake. May require uncomfortable 'bonding'
However the latter can get really nasty. That could cause immense hurt to her that will never go away (but you could argue with a family like that, that's perhaps enivitable). You'll need to judge how much the family would really act.
Ultimately you have to decide: do you love her more than you hate the family stuff? Does she love you enough to put up with family problems? Do you think things will peak then get better as they accept?
Those are the issues you have to consider. Only you know if it's truly worth it.
I will say though, if there's an arranged marriage issue and the parents are hardline in their approach to it. You need to have a big chat with her and get her in contact with charities and bodies that will protect her, regardless of if you continue or end the relationship. Families like that deserve no loyalty.

I do want to marry her, shes great, but we have talked about what happens after...will the stress be too much.
Met a few family members on the face of it they are fine with me. I know at home she is getting a lot of pressure from her parents to leave....

course its worth the hassle relationships are never easy and relationships with families can be strained if your black,white,brown,yellow or whatever colour martians are these days, but its up to you and your woman to convince the family that your worthy of their daughter, must be a website somewhere with advice,people shared experiences etc, then go on a charm offense with the family and if that fails go it alone just the 2 of you maybe then the family will see your serious, maybe their testing you now, i you really love her HOW can you leave?
