All the TVS does is to disable the vacuum retard when the engine is about to
overheat; which bumps the idle rpm up.  You can accomplish nearly the same
thing by either shutting the engine off instead of letting it idle for a
long time; or keeping an eye on the gauge and boosting the idle rpm with
your foot if it starts to get hot.

The advantage of removing it is simplicity, mostly (and not having to worry
about a defective switch).

Not as long as you connect the retard line around it.  If you disconnect the
retard entirely, then you'll want to reset the idle rpm, which may involve
having to adjust the bowl vent valves as well.

Nope, only originality.
