I would agree with you when you say "All of this comes down to ones tolerance in the performance versus cost ratio." Amplifiers have fuses too and - as with your Staxes - I would never remove them, to get just that bit more SQ.
But there are too many stories of people blowing ribbons before the fuse blows, so I am not persuaded that I'm doing anything particularly risky, in running without Maggie fuses. BTW, in Australia, blowing a ribbon will cost you in excess of $500, what with shipping costs back to the importer, in Sydney! :-((
