Positive effects of removing the /bin/systemd symlink on 2021-05-01: saves one inode in the root fs. Negative effects of removing the /bin/systemd symlink on 2021-05-01: an unknown number of users who had forgotten to update their grub.conf will discover that they can no longer boot their systems. I would suggest not removing the symlink unless there is a technical reason why its presence is undesirable. -Alexandre.
