removing the 008 requirement from SS runs they would be incredibly boring. It would just be

1. get lvl 1 and 2

2. upgrade lvl 2 to lvl 3 in 914

3. grab 1499

4. use the 1499 glitch to talk to 079 and complete the game.

SS would essentially become any% (no warp) but without OoB.

if you don't know about the 1499 glitch its a bug that was possible before the 1499 rework (i think that was 1.3.11 or 1.3.10 don't exactly remember) where you can pass trough doors and it's not considered OoB. You can see it in action at 20:50 in this video:
