Why?

If the generated configurations are suitable and the SRE hire is (as they should be) able to trace through how they're generated and audit the results, I don't see why said SRE would want to remove it unless/until it actively gets in the way.

When I first start working on pre-existing infrastructure, finding out what my users' current pain points are and figuring out how to work on them is always the priority, and removing a tool that's currently working, probably creating additional hopefully-transitory pain points in the process, seems like the opposite of a good place to start.
