I enjoy all the reasons everyone gives for removing the full mud flap. We've never had any of the problems mentioned here with ours or toad damage. But I can tell you they are absolutely a good idea for having them.
We drove over a wood post 4x4 x around 20" two years ago on the freeway doing 60. The passenger front wheel hit it first " hard" it flew back into the passenger side rear wheels which blasted it into the engine bay. It hit the mud flap first before going through the radiator and more, and probably through the rear into the toad.
It was loud, and violent. It took out the corner of that full mud flap sending the wood out the side and clear of everything. I still have that mud flap hanging there.
I will never be without a full mud flap. Without a doubt it saved us extensive repairs to the MH and toad
