I wouldn't get rid of them if the system functioned correctly unless the asthetics really bothered you.
The reasons I did the swap on mine were all of the crimped hoses were leaking as well an eyesore IMO, the steering pump was leaking, & the accumulator did not work. I priced a LAPS rebuilt HB unit, steering pump, & new custom hoses for better asthetic routing. It was significantly more (4x more) than the <$100 for a rebuilt vacuum booster. I already had a rebuilt vac boost unit w/very limited use from one of my other trucks so the swap so far has been free (free is good when evaluating something).
I'll give the vacuum a try & see how it fares. If I feel the braking pressure is not adequate for my application, I'll spend the money to freshen the HB w/some custom lines to improve the under hood visual appeal.
