You can, but then applying diffs won't be possible at all. Those table are not 
only used to reduce memory usage of the first import, but also to hold all 
data to solve the problem I mentionned about diffs not having all 
informations of their constituent nodes in order to apply them.

It depends on your mapnik style sheets, but my guess is that there are no 
reasons to use those table for rendering (They don't hold geometries)
