I would have thought that going mono is definitely well worth the effort. Removing the microlenses may possibly reduce sensitivity by a factor of maybe 2, but the Bayer filter does worse than that for broadband sources - and if you use narrowband, only a subset of the pixels see any photons at all under Bayer filters (eg with Ha, only 1 in 4 of the pixels get any light at all). mono is much more effective overall.
