I don't get the 1x deal, but if you buy a new bike designed for 1x, you don't get a front derailleur, so it should be safe to remove yours.

When I bought this Peugeot the front derailleur was broken, and the previous owner removed it. It rode fine, but I put a front derailleur back on. Rides better that way for me.
