I had no balance shafts for a solid 3 years with no problems. My old motor was pulled and was to be put into a Talon, but my friend never finished the project.
If you have too high oil pressure with the BS removed, then just port your oil pressure relief:

I would NOT use the 3rd party shafts that do not have the oil grooves. Use OEM, or don't do it at all.
IMO, the only reason I would do this is to not have to worry about a balance shaft belt snapping and killing your timing belt. The hp gains are negligible.
