Sure. If you're not using any other scripting language than javascript
there is no point in using BSF.

I was in a similar position, and just removed BSF.  There were some
side effects though, can't remember exactly what but some scripts
broke when I removed BSF, so you will have to retest your legacy
scripts. Either that or you just run legacy script w/ bsf and new ones
without.

cheers,
Edwin.
