it's definitely interesting for the sake of testing (checking how it triggers gauges reactions and plane behaviour), and to understand the extent and complexity of DM, but yes, it can be unnecessary. Considering that I play the game sporadically now (actually haven't started it since I got back from hols), I still keep them on, if anything they're a reminder to how much work they put into it!
It'd be neat to have a feature at the end of the mission where you have a damage report that runs together with a track of the mission, so that there's a camera that gets triggered everytime an area is damaged. It would add a lot to the de-briefing experience and help us understand more about what/how/when/where went wrong.
