Would it hurt anything or catch on fire without it? I don’t have $50.00 to replace the shield. Doesn’t the manifold shields have to be welded on anyhow when they are new?

My exhaust manifold heat shield was rattling so I just removed it. It rusted out and I wasn’t sure if it could be welded back on. Many shops say it’s not really necessary unless it’s underneath the car. Is it okay to drive without it under the hood? I have plenty of Ram air and the cooling fan is in the front to cool the exhaust manifold on hot days.
