-- I can't speak specifically on this vehicle but I would be a little hesitant on completely removing it since I live in a place that has a lot of water.
I like the pond liner type material under the garbage bag to cover up the giant holes I bet you could notice a huge difference just from covering these up--I would probably reapply the service hole cover and seal it back up with tape since the butyl does not always stick once it is pulled down.
If you are worried about possible wetness inside the vehicle you could copy the service hole cover layout and make panels from Shoddy (recycled fibers) and pond liner (buy at home depot). You can cut them to fit just like the service hole cover does and then tape the shoddy and pond liner together with the pond liner touching the door panel and then tape it to the sheet metal.
You could pick out different materials or chose a different layout depending on your overall goal.

I know it was overkill, but on my car, CLD covered the entire area the plastic. Problem solved! Used little bits of CLD to cover behind and over all the things that had to come through. Sealed up nicely.
