If I remove the OEM spare tire, will it be susceptible to trail damage?

I’ve have been thinking about how to improve my departure angles. I seem to drag my spare tire a lot. I sort of worry about damaging it. I’d like to get a tire carrier... I might go for a Wilco product that mounts in the hitch. I realize I’ll prob end up dragging that at the hitch?

My question is if I remove the stock spare am I more likely to damage my rear bumper? Is there a filler plate or something? Seems like there would be a huge empty space
