I personally have never seen the stock keepers ever fail in the valve cover before. I don't see why you would need to be paranoid about something like that. There are a thousand other (more likely) ways your DSM can leave you on the side of the road than that.

As for the baffles, I would leave them in if you are driving the car on the street mostly. I fill up my catch can fairly quickly even with the baffles intact. The amount of blowby/condensation I have is enough to fill the can in less than a week of street driving at my HP level. I can't imagine if the baffles weren't there.

Removing the baffles will not make the vent that much more efficient either. Pressure will always look for the path of least resistance to escape, and it will have no trouble finding the catch can.
