I think that keeping the bridge might be a good idea? You should hop on by the Discord server and see what the others think! That being said, people still play Base 1.34 from time to time, even with the SoD translation. So there may still be a use for it? People don't seem to wanna touch SoD until story is translated, and I can assure you, that won't be done for a Long While.
Honestly I... haven't kept up with the Shard of Dreams netplay scene at all, so I don't know anything about it, so beyond my very weak opinion, I can't be of much use here.
