To delete the EGR would guarantee that you would never bend a rod from a egr cooler leak, not that bad coolers are a big problem with the 6.4, but it does happen. If you have the parts I would do it, plus it will declutter the engine compartment a tad.

Boost. Have to watch it since no waste gate. Egr acts as the waste gate

I have a thread on this. I called spartan wondering the same thing about wategates. They feel confident that if you're not adding more than 500hp to your truck it will be ok. I'm taking my egr off for the simple reason its a junk set-up.
