Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

The plastic sleeve does a fine job of supporting the non-drive side of the bottom bracket. Find something else to worry about.

BTW, if you remove the bb for a service check (you can't actually service the bb itself), remove the drive side first. The plastic sleeve will tend to break if you remove it first and the broken parts are a pain to get out of the bb shell.
