It has been done, you have to get a custom pipe made to replace the EGR cooler if you remove it.
Easier way is to leave the EGR cooler in place, turn off the EGR valve in the closed position, replace the exhaust up-pipe with one that does not have a port to connect to the EGR cooler and the plug the rear of the EGR cooler where the exhaust up-pipe would connect.

Having "been there, done that" w/ the EGR failure, I'd recommend the deletion even if its the only benefit. It can get rather costly to repair just the EGR (like a $900 part just for the EGR) as well as the EGR valve, intake manifold, VGT and assorted other parts down the line. My repair was close to $4k and could have been prevented by a $200-300 "fix".
