I can't remember a time when I removed the pin. Maybe I should have but didn't.
Not a bad idea to test emergency breakaway switch at start of each camping season.
Wires/clip can corrode and NOT allow trailer battery voltage to fully energize trailer brakes.
Fed DOT requirement is FULL Battery Voltage for 15 minutes minimum.
When we FTd I tested 2X a year.
After fully hooking up just prior to pulling out I would have pin pulled and then pull out.
Within a few feet trailer brakes would lockup and tires slide (on dirt/gravel) OR feel lots of resistance.
