Yes,it is always good practice to remove unused application mapping.
For asp, you only need asp and asa
For .net list, if you are sure you won't be using .asmx, you can remove it
as well.
so based on your application design, you should disabled those unneeded
extension.

Part of Urlscan installation, is to remove application mapping and map
unused extension to 404.dll
