Wow.
You could remove the Gendarmerie Force entirely and not have lost anything. I mean that literally, they have 0 consequence on the plot.
Hell, you'd gain by not having that abysmal fight with Vegeta, and a whole episodes worth of time wasted on Great Value Ginyu Force.

This is his very last gift to us all, and I for one am very grateful to him and have loved every second of it.

The Ginyus work because they contrast with the tension/fear of Freeza.
Pilaf works because he foils his own REAL threat with his arrogance.
They don't mix.
If Goku cant contrast with a serious world, he cant take the piss! 🤣
For a second I thought they were trying to make a Dragon Quest reference
Then I remembered Gendarme is a mountain in Ys 8, not Dragon Quest, and that's the only other place I've seen that word
So now it makes no sense at all
Then everyone standing down and going “oh”, followed by the Vegeta beat down.
Ginyu Force at home:
This series (and especially the Gendarmarie Tokusentai) feels EXACTLY like something modern Toriyama wrote.
Look at the projects he did before and after DragonBall, and you'll see that Daima is more in line with his style than DB itself was — especially Z.
This one was definitely the weakest though, and Gendarmie Force was a let down. I'm hoping they'll have like, some sort of finale payoff?
