Hi I done few times defoliation but still, have plenty of leafs, so my question is leave like that and let them grow or remove again some leafs?

I don't see much reason to defoliate here... and problems with standing water from condensation? Leaves are good. Remove leaves does not 'redistribute resources' or 'allow the plant to focus on' flowers.
if the plant has too many, it'll shed some. If leaves at the bottom are too shielded, it'll shed some.. and the ones it keeps are still value-added. Leaves are not sinks. Young leaves are sinks, lol. Keep them.
Depending on the Method you want to chose I would either leave them on if no problems at all occure or do a full schwazzing which should be done with known strains and caution.
When its just about looks for you now.. DO NOT DO IT
When u have to much RLF start from the top, leave the second 2 fan leaves alone and then start taking from below the second leave to ensure light penetration / airflow.
You did a lollipopping?
You have got a nice SOG there bud.
Since you are already into flowering I would not recommend excessive defoliation.
You dont want ypur ladys to get an stress induced stop/pause of growth.
If you have enough airflow you should be ok with the amount of leaves you have there..
Too less airflow = mold!!
