However, removing the above would break Mage_Sendfriend if install from composer.

What is the problem with it?

Please test

ddev composer localdev https://github.com/OpenMage/module-mage-sendfriend
ddev composer require openmage/module-mage-sendfriend:dev-main

I hope the PR covers all records and nothing is left behind.

I can ensure there is code left behind. Observer from Mage_Reports eg ... but nothing that should rely on removed code.
