I think this PR would resolve this issue: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15129

right. i only checked the issues, should have checked PRs as well

With the removal of the legacy wallet, this would be reasonable to do for watch-only wallets only. However, we should not have anything that can remove private keys from a wallet since that can lead to a loss of funds.

Additionally, with descriptor wallets, a watch-only wallet without the imported descriptor (for the address in question) can be created by using listdescriptors, removing the descriptor from the result, and importdescriptors into a new watch-only wallet.

So I guess this can be closed?
