Sims crashes with viewing registers etc has in the past been caused by a child missing a name or having 'illegal' characters in their name. If it's only happening with one particular group of students make sure your data is clean.

As others have said, stat returns, ctfs, exams data, timetabling still require it. Personally I would advise against using a local connect.ini as it can cause problems if you need to relocate your dB server. Also the data that is transacted in those processes above can be sensitive and having it stored locally on workstations is not the best idea particularly if they are laptops and not adequately encrypted.
