i've always included it in previous installs of fedora but, for the
sake of simplicity, i'm wondering if it's safe to just leave it out
these days.

  will doing that break anything critical or anything still commonly
used?

There are number of third party non-free software including RealPlayer and VMWare that are pooly packaged and do not specify the dependencies they need. Most of them are build against very old versions of the base libraries for compatibility and hence would depend on components from the legacy group.
