...it should recover no problem and in the future, if you have to take a leaf, grasp it firmly right at the base where it meets the stem and pull down, ...it should snap off very cleanly right at the stem. ...if you hold a thumbnail just under the bottom of said leaf it should pull down and off with ease.

...i pluck leaves all the time man, if it's crappy or it's shadin' a bud site, bam, it's gone!

...i do indeed, i've never been shy about plucking leaves off my plants, judicious pruning stimulates new and vigorous growth.
...for example, when you top a young plant, it may slow a bit but the new growth quickly catch's up except that instead of 1 top, you now have 2.
...don't be afraid to experiment, and don't take anyone's word as gospel, ...any one of us can be wrong, even if we are convinced we are right, so try it yourself and you won't have to take anyone's word for whether or not it works because you'll know, one way or the other through your own experience, there's no better teacher than personal experience.
...and don't forget to have fun with this no matter what grasshopper, growing weed is supposed to be fun.

Would 6 weeks in flower be too late to remove leaves?

No it's not too late. You also can tuck a few on one plant and pluck the other see if there's a difference. Further your experience points.
Me I leave them on unless unhealthy but like its said above in a thread your experiences will teach tons so see what you prefer.
