hal is obsolete software and at this point anything that is FLOSS will
have been ported to udev/udisks/upower/etc. The only things that still
use hal will be unmaintained proprietary software and most proprietary
software won't have needed hal in the first place, so probably the
only software that could make use of hal-compat is the Flash DRM
stuff.

That is up to you.
Personally, I would remove Flash from my system entirely and use HTML5
video or when that isn't available, run youtube-dl, get-flash-videos,
cclive or similar on the command-line. Some desktop video players can
also use these to play video from the web.
