Those metal plates are there for a good reason.  Yes it may the car lighter, but you will also have more derailments.

True, I was expecting this as a side effect and I tested. So far, not one derailment in at least 3-4 hours of continuous run, even at full speed.  ;D

Keep the car weights.  You may want them later. Longer trains on curves and switching operations will require them.

Absolutely, all kept, just in case!
