Regardless of the role, I don't think there's any obligation to keep using a character you don't find too interesting.
You could even make a rewrite of your own version of Code Geass without Suzaku and still make the story you're trying to tell work. There's no need to be afraid of radical decisions.
If I were interested in writing fan fiction, I could just as easily justify including or excluding anyone from the story, since it would cater to my preferences and skills as a writer, rather than necessarily trying to stick closely to the original story, at the expense of what I really wanted to do.
