would I benefit from taking off some of the shade leaves with less than 2 or 3 weeks left in flower?

If it's sativa dominant, then yes, definitely. If it's indica dominant, then maybe. I would remove a few either way. Even if it's too late for it to help the buds get bigger, it should help with ripening and terpene profile.

At that point in flower it will be fine to defoliate. I like to think mine out close to harvest to help with trimming too
