If you ditch the remote, prepare to be frustrated.
Further, has anyone found a consistent performance superiority with all non-remote preamps or integrateds? i.e. every amplification scheme without a remote has consistently performed better than all with remote?
I have not found that to be the case. Ergo, the remote is not lethal to ultimate acoustic performance or listening enjoyment.
Application: It's back to the classic, "Every piece has it's own benefits, limitations, and unique sound, which if placed into a system will ideally perform in perfect conformity with its capabilities."
OR, my alternate answer:
You won't die; it'll just feel like it. ;)
