They're not timing issues as regards software incompatibility, more low-level signalling issues that affect the stability of the computer. They can cause issues with accelerator boards that run close to the timing limits and you'll see crashes, refusal to boot and all sorts of weirdness if that's the case.

I'm reluctant to mess around with my aging A1200 and possibly damage tracks on the motherboard. If they HAVE to go are the simply removed and the circuit tracks left open?

Yep, they're just left open. They are pretty simple to remove but as FOL said, there's no need if it's working ok.
