Definitely, have made that exact argument myself in the past
Best broadcasts are the international soccer tournaments where they use a lone announcer
They tend to control the broadcast well, let things breathe
Think baseball had that in the past, but it kinda died with Vin Scully afaik
99% of commentators/analysts do nothing for me, huge net negatives actually
Broadcasts without announcers at all might even be an improvement
Experienced that a few years back when there was a strike and it was actually pretty great
