In my opinion, if it's not being used, there's no harm in deleting it, but there's no harm in leaving it in either (just like with metadata you don't need). The thing is, the page breaks aren't exported automatically by InDesign, you have to run a script and tidy them a bit, so I have to wonder why someone went to the trouble of doing that and then left them in. In any case, if it was a book I cared about, I'd do it differently -- I'd finish what was started and I'd build a page list using those id's, and I'd feel good about having the best possible version. But that's me, I also love long, verbose metadata
