You are talking about the flap in the filler neck tube ?
My 2015 is gone in the first months that I got it and the wife's 2011 Aurion one is now gone.
I thought that this is for if or when the car rolls over fuel does not just poor out, I have seen such with a XC Falcon wagon once upside down and with fuel pissing out through the fuel cap like you would not believe.

Yes I understand.
I had a problem with the Holden my first 1995 VS v6 ute that coming through a roundabout or such real fast mid to low fuel it would cut the power out , I don't remember my VS V8 ute doing that tho. must of had better baffles in the tank with the 1999 ones.
Was it a plastic type baffle around the fuel pump. or and steel baffle running along that the weld spots broke off.

To answer the original question, the car will survive without the baffle/s.
I've hit fuel starvation a fair few times (when driving like a mad man), and when ive hit starvation the fuel light is well and truly lit. The baffles stop fuel sloshing around the entire tank - it doesnt act like a local area surge section so there is little impact to the function aside from taking corners at speed where fuel will be moving significantly.
