I haven't done any actual experiments, but I do routinely remove inflorescences from some Haworthias and aloes to favor the growth of leaves and roots (in theory).

If you are asking about specific plants, it would probably be more fruitful to discuss them instead of a general hypothetical discussion.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
I haven't seen flower stalks affect the growth much, unless there are many of them. I usually only keep 1 or so flower stalks. Another problem with flower stalks, is they often have mites and aphids.
