The only possible use I can see for those scenes would be in a redub.
Nute could make a last ditch attempt to beg for mercy from the new Emperor or still threaten to expose the truth in vain.
Palpatine could then assure the Viceroy that he will be 'taken care of'.
Hmmm....I hate just cutting a scene out....this could work well... ;)
