Respawn seems almost exclusively for very new characters, so I would not want it to go away. Doing so would have a much greater impact on new players than old, and those are who the server is already the most difficult for.
It would seem to me to be a real bummer to ask a lot questions in Discord, think a lot about a brand new PC, go through the process of creating her, watch the cut scene...and then die right away. Yes, you can opt for a rescue, but that involves a lot more waiting around not being able to get started playing.
