Kyon is definitely important. He has been the person responsible (the "external factor") for both of Haruhi's big "data flares" (The one "three years ago" and the one at the beginning of the first novel.)
Try to imagine the other SOS Brigade members narrarating the stories. Regardless of which SOS Brigade member's POV, Kyon would still be a major player. In Itsuku and Yuki's versions, Haruhi would be little more than a macguffin. I suspect the most interesting portrayals of Haruhi would be from Mikuru or Haruhi herself.
Anyway, I'm still waiting for
The Good Life of Haruhi Suzumiya where Haruhi discovers that everyone in the SOS Brigade (except her) is aware of her true powers, becomes angry, sends the original SOS Brigade members into the cornfield, and starts up a new SOS Brigade with Kimidori, Taniguchi, Kunikida, Tsuruya, and the Computer Club President.
