Depends on your target fish.... and how you fish for your targets, some reels have a lot of drag, for fighting monsters, some retrieve super fast for top water lures, some are geared lower for crank baits.
Some baitcasters are round, and some are low profile

If you cut them, be sure to clip off the dorsal fin on your center section, so it won’t foul your hook set,,lost a big one couple weeks ago by not doing that

Some reels have a spool adjuster to where you can center the spool, it’s usually opposite side of the tension adjustment knob

Cutting the line and leaving the hook in the gut will not kill them, they have done several studies to show this. Most hooks are actually cheap carbon steel, and with their stomach acids they rust quickly. Also quite a few fish will have the ability to work the hook loose and spit it out

Small panfish I use forceps, Catfish I use 16” long handle needle nose. I use circle hooks so most of the time they are hook set in the corner of their mouths

You can, only thing is you will get less yardage of line and if you hook a big fish that would normally break your line, it may just pull it all off the reel instead and possibly break your drag system. Unlikely but I've had it happen to me once with a trout rod, that I thought would be fun to put 20lb braid on and caught what I assume to be a heavy catfish due to that's what I was fishing for. It took all my line and I never tie my line onto my reel when I spool it.
