Looks about right to me.
If you remove a pair of links, the chain will very likely be too short for the big-big combination, which would be dangerous. While that is an inefficient gear for riding, it can happen inadvertently.
Looking at your other thread regarding FD cable routing, it appears that the front derailleur could be lowered several millimeters, so that it just clears the big ring. That will improve front shifts and decrease the likelihood of throwing the chain.
Regarding throwing the chain when shifting to the granny ring, I use chain catcher to prevent that possibility.
