If we "formally" decide to remove it, I believe people will stop putting it back, especially once they see that very few pages have the template left. I agree. I've used it a lot even with only one appearance simply for the sake of consistency, despite my own opinion that it was not needed, nor useful. I don't have as much faith in people as you do though; I'd delete the template immediately after the bot finishes removing it from articles to prevent it from being added.
