The problem with not mapping them is that some (I know the DV6 is) are mapped with a failsafe regen every 500 miles or so, on top of the pressure activated regens. Obviously it causes immense heat when theres no soot or DPF core for it to work against and is likely to break/melt stuff tbh. Hopefully the regen would fail when it senses overheating but that assumes your temp sensor works ok.
It seems to be luck (?) whether you get limp mode or not, my experience is only with the Focii (both DV6 and 16v DW10) and some had had limp from DPF gutting, others haven't. Though I don't know how carefully the ones that didn't drove, mine only seems to throw DPF fault codes above 3k rpm currently.
