Can we safely remove the dependency on Devel?

Problem/Motivation

Im trying to remove Devel from a project codebase that uses this LocalGov profile, however I cannot as it's listed as a dependency in localgov composer.json

Steps to reproduce

  • Install this profile
  • Attempt to remove Devel using composer: composer remove drupal/devel

Proposed resolution

Understand why Devel is listed as a dependency and remove it, if its safe to do so

Remaining tasks

Remove Devel from composer.json

Notes

Im aware its possible to do this via the parent Composer.json, but feels hacky, if devel isn't explicitly required by this profile and is only there as a dependency on the assumption dev teams will want it, it feels it would be better to remove it and allow those who want to use it to add it themselves.
