    I think this will be OK with some caveats

    It may be easier just to remove the field from forms and ignore the dbdict entry (particularly OOTB fields)

    Check if the field has any data posted or used by other processes/files in SM, if so I would just hide the field if you don't want it to be seen

    Take a full database backup first

    If you do this make sure the corresponding database entry/field has been cleared and removed also so the SM dbdict and DB match

    Fully test this in a development system before doing it in production
