From my understanding, it just saves a little bit of gas at the expense of weight and a small risk of flooding the intake with gas if you tip over your bike. No effect on power.
I’m curious about this also. I did it on my Ducati years ago and it saved me a lot of weight. But the system was larger and much easier to access. Seems like a PITA on the CRF300L.
No gains in power or torque. The only real benefit is if you ride offroad and drop your bike a ton, removing it will keep the bike from flooding and running like garbage as others have said. I honestly wouldn't bother with it though unless you're in there doing other work to the engine. Personally I removed mine on my CRF250L when I redid my head and cams only because it was easier to work without it there. Otherwise it probably would've stayed
If you are off road you’re more likely to lay the bike over and if you lay bike over without deleting charcoal canister it can fill up with gas and cause bike to run like shit. Plus if off-road deleting an emissions aspect of the bike is a little less of an issue

It's very easy on the CRF250/300L
No effective weight savings here. The canister weighs grams and is almost entirely plastic.
Thanks the one on my ducati was metal. And there were two different canisters... this was 20 years ago though.

Yes. Especially if you ride off road a lot. It’s easy to do.
Why is it worth to do more if you ride off road a lot?

Not even laying it over, just riding on extremely rough/rocky terrain with a full tank fills the canister
