I personally think it's not a good idea to remove it for any application where tightening is required, but here there's no question.
As far as strings, you can go extremely thick with them but there will come a point where they just don't sound good to you anymore.
From the physical standpoint, keep in mind that when you go from one note to the note an octave below it you drop the frequency by half. Physically, there's no limit (except that eventually you won't be able to hear the fundamental or amplify the signal well), because you can take halves of anything and never get to zero.

There are amps that goes down to 5hz.
As long as you have long enough scale and thick enough strings you can go pretty darn low, I don't think we have seen the end of the line yet. For me having a .250 string would kill some of the tone, I would need a longer scale
Amping the fundamental is something you rarely do, the low b on a sevenstring guitar is 60 hz and a lot of guitar cabinets don't go under 80hz.
And as always, it's probably a matter of personal taste.
