There were a number of discussions over the years that said that there is no benefit in removing unused columns. Re: the bigger wview-extended schema, there is no risk in staying with your old smaller wview-compatible schema if nothing is breaking. If you later start using a skin or extension and things get dramatically slower, that's a good indication you might need to either add a column or update to the new wview-extended schema.
