I don't think it's going to be detrimental to the legacy. When making a timeless classic, generally people try to avoid dated pop culture memes. "dwarf tossing" had no place in the original work and I think a significant percentage of the society looks at that "game" as degrading. It was just bad form.
The rest of the dwarf humor isn't nearly as bad, but it was Jackson own addition to the story, one that he would have been better off making.
