You should keep it around, per the Asahi docs themselves, and marcan provides some additional context in a reddit comment which I've also quote here:
You could try using
diskutil apfs resizeContainer <container ID> minimum(I don't 100% recall if the last argument is actuallyminimumbut using the regular--helpshould give you the correct one) in macOS to shrink the macOS container to smaller than the Asahi installer typically allows, or use expert mode in the Asahi install script to override the macOS size check, possibly with fewer negative consequences than deleting it outright.Sorry if you already know all this but I thought I'd add it here just in case!
