I dont think that it has any benefit when warming up other than standing still idling in a traffic jam, when driving any heat is blown away by the driving wind.
My guess is sound isolation for main purpose

That's why they insulate it. To get the heat up as quickly as possible. Any air flow through the engine bay is directed through the AC, radiator & IC cores. There isn't much "blown away by the driving wind" as it's hot already (after passing through the cores). That's why everything under the bonnet is so hot when you lift the bonnet.

Why would you want to remove it?
Weight? Get a CF bonnetcould always fit a dash from the GTI but not sure about the connectors for temps...
and just throwing some ideas around. there maybe a thought of bonnet vent for the air box that will probably never eventuate due to lack of skills of any sort. unless i can find a bonnet cheap at a wreckers i could hack up. again, just thoughts and ideas.

RE GTI dash insert, not likely. The money you will spend would have bought you a gti.
If you want to vent the bonnet for functional purposes, dont because I will guarantee that without complex CFD, you WILL produce adverse results.
