In some applications a gasket is fitted to stop fretting on the mating faces, but I don't see this as one of those situations. Mine has always stayed intact so is still there, but I tend to agree with Jake that it is not necessary.
If you do away with it I would check the clutch adjustment at that case end because you will loose a slight amount of clearance.
