Yes, the singular version of the message isn't required at all as

singular version.
The issue is that n == 1 and n != 1 are not the only cases that
errmsg_plural() handles. Some languages have different forms for n ==
1, n == 2, and n >= 5, for example. So while it is true that in
errmsg_plural("drop cascades to %d other object",
"drop cascades to %d other objects",
the English singular string will never be used, you have to keep the
errmsg_plural() call so that it can handle variants like the above for
other languages.
You could write
errmsg_plural("DUMMY NOT USED %d",
"drop cascades to %d other objects",
but I don't think that is better.
