I’m having the same dilemma with my episode VI personal edit (which is basically IlFanEditore’s, with some brief SE restorations and some music changes).
Removing the scene helps the pacing, since the film kind of drags at the middle act, and also cutting it would make the Ewoks seem more threatening when Han and Luke first meet them moments after.
On the other side, keeping it explains how Leia made it to the village and why the Ewoks didn´t harm her yet want to sacrifice the others.
