I would remove them so the plant puts the energy into developing healthy leaves that are more efficient at photosynthesis.

That makes sense, thank you.
Keep in mind that the plants store a good amount of nutrients, and even if they lose every single leaf, so long as the roots are healthy it will grow back. Pruning damaged leaves is fine. Not only will they grow back healthier, it can help get light down to the younger leaves to encourage them to grow faster.
Thank you, I've pruned the damaged leaves.
