It's not recommended to comment it out.
It's ok to comment it out if you don't want transforms in your system. As you've observed without it publishing the joint states, robot_state_publisher cannot publish the transforms for the different links.
So if you publish the wheel states then you will be replicating the joint_state_publisher.
Why do you want to comment ou tthe joint state publisher?
