Exhaust heat shield

It was no surprise to see that the old floor mounted exhaust heat shield had rotted out. But I just wondered - how necessary is this shield? Could it be argued that leaving it out would allow exhaust heat to dissipate easier than a shield which could help to conduct extra heat through the shield casing?
