I agree with Shakespeare that Flaky is the most important character but for a completely different reason. All the other character might get scared or sad when they or someone they care about is injured or dying but before anything happens they're just so happy-go-lucky without a care in the world but not Flaky, Flaky can never relax. I think the inclusion of her really drills in the effects of living the live, die, repeat lifestyle they do with someone who the constant fear of death has taken over their whole life. Like a line from Flaky in a Fanfiction says, "How can you keep smiling knowing you could drop dead at any second?!"

Without Flaky, though the death counts won't take a very hard hit, the whole atmosphere of the show would change.
