It really is as trivial as it seems...

It is less trivial if you want to remove the extra chain rings, but only slightly.

It is also less trivial if your shifter is integrated with the brake lever.

But, as others have pointed out, the benefit of removing the FD is probably less than the benefit of having the ability to shift if you want to.
