Not from my perspective, but from the perspective of learned interaction patterns ... to remove a web content portlet from a page, the user would traditionally use the ellipsis menu "top right" of the actual portlet. That menu is no longer in the anticipated location, but there is a menu there.Naturally then the user will always, always, always choose the wrong menu, leading to frustration with themselves and the product. We need that one menu system back.

An alternative would be to provide a remove / trash icon in addition to the plus icon in the blue topper or add "Remove" into the menu that the user is expecting to see that option in.
