Ask HN: We're thinking to drop HTTP support, Thoughts?

We're planning to completely remove HTTP support across all our sites, endpoints, APIs. Meaning: Stop serving at 80 port. By doing so we'll be able to remove servers, nginx, loadbalancers, etcs that manage http traffic.This will save us a few bucks, reduce complecity and improve security. Currently we're already forward(301) all http requests to https. Most of them bots, garbage. Thoughts? Can we expect any problems? SEO? Browsers to refuse to connect? Or any unexpected problems?
