Only you and the publisher can decide that. Truly, I'm not copping out; I don't know the extent of your index, how detailed it is, etc.
I think that the state of search is such that many topic indices could be out of work. However, there are index topics that aren't that clear-cut, like the usual "see also" or where you get an area or range of pages that discuss something important to the topic in which you are interested, but don't necessarily say a word or phrase overtly. In those instances, you would not find it/them, if you
did search. You have to assess the existence of those, the reality of them, before you can decide what to do around your index, IMHO.
So, sorry--it's really your call.
