At least from the pblk side, I have no objections to removing it. I test briefly that pblk runs on new releases, but there are no new features or known bug fixes coming in.
Current deployments - to the best of my knowledge - are forks, which are not being retrofitted upstream.
For completeness, I get a number of questions and request primarily from the academia. These people will probably accuse the lack of LightNVM. I understand though that this is not an argument to keep it.
