I also broke mine in a crash, had surgery, but have not bothered to get the plate removed and it's fine?

The only time I really notice it is if someone pushes on it or if I'm doing front squats with a bar.

Get it removed: the next hit will be much worse than a broken collar bone if the bone can't do its job of giving in before less restorable parts of the shoulder give in.
