Not really sure what you are asking.

I've been using Little Snitch on a mac that has a real ipv4 address and is
running 24x7. I can't really see how not to use it. It constantly gets
banged on (mostly sshd via launchd).

If you are on a NAT address and are only worried about things from your mac
going outbound and somewhat solved the issues, suppose there is no harm
getting rid of it but it doesn't get in the way of anything, so why not keep
it?

I've been using it for years and can't remember it causing any problems.
