I'm going to provide one very important reasons it would be disastrous to the ecosystem if humans were suddenly deleted from the Earth: what happens to the many currently active nuclear reactors? And what happens when Chernobyl's sarcophagus finally corrodes entirely and exposes that radioactive blight to the entirety of Europe and central Asia? Probably nothing good is the answer.
I would be willing to put money on "likely nothing" being the answer for active nuclear reactors. They're highly automated from a safety perspective these days. I'd be more worried about chemical plants
That's a good point, too. My general idea was we have certain things we've created that we can't leave unchecked or else it might be disastrous for the environment. Human infrastructure expects humans to exist.
