We've had b disabled for several years, and when we did a complete wireless replacement last year dropped rates below 24Mbps to get everything up to QAM. The only definite complaints I know about are the Wii users everyone else has mentioned. Eliminating the rates would have effectively shrunk cell size (indirectly the point - force a roam), but given the entire system was replaced as well we've just been addressing them as coverage issues (which we also knew existed before the swap) so can't quantify that impact.
