They’re no really doing much no. Just extra protection. I’ve taken the sleeves off of Hollowtech 2 MTB bottom brackets to fit in 68mm frames and had no issues.
If your frame has a cutout underneath the BB shell as part of the design (I’ve seen that on some retro steel frames) then I’d run one, but that’s it.
