I think it depends on why they were cut.

Apparently the scene was cut because the movie was too long or it didn’t fit with the flow of the film, not because it didn’t fit Rian’s vision, especially because the scene was in the trailer, so it was part of the final product for some time.

Not according to the Art Of book. That says that it was cut when Rian Johnson et al realized it was going too far and it threw off the tone. It’s not that it was deemed non essential and taken out to cut down on running time. RJ decided it was wrong for the movie and removed it for that reason.
