If you are outdoors, you usually don't have to remove any leaves because the sun moves and usually covers the entire plant during the day. If it gets too massive, a few leaves removed wouldn't hurt but as things are currently, I wouldn't change a thing. Looks good!

Leave the fans but i pluck the lowest branches to increase yield. They’re good for clones but take a lot of energy from the upper bud sites.

Like a nice cage for her bro just to support her from the elements and to help her support her weight on branches etc..

When your plants are flowwering, they get a lot heavier and can often snap branches off or damage them. A tomato cage or bamboo poles are good for supporting heavy plants and branches. Some buds can get massive and weigh too much for the branch to support.

Outdoors I’d just leave them, for the reasons others have posted. If you are growing indoors, look up from the bottom of the plant, up towards the light. From that perspective it’s real easy to see which fan leaves would be the best ones to remove. Nice plants, btw!

Some strains dont mind pruneing one bit, it slows other strains for a few days, leaf tuck instead bc your plant looks ok.
