I don't think they'll remove the items, but might balance them or move them elsewhere as some items are a bit too useful and gotten too early.
Such as;
- [Silver Pendant] - Grants Guidance which is free permanent + 1-4 to any skill check
- [Warped Headband of Intellect] - Sets the character's intelligence to 17
- [The Amulet of Lost Voices] - Grants Speak With Dead
[Sword Of Justice] for example got balanced because previously the player was able to constantly cast its +2 AC spell thus permanently have +2AC at all times, but now it is only once per rest. So they might just balance them properly and move them, rather than remove them. Especially the headband, it's just so good that I always wear it on my main character.
