Not really. All it does is leave the steering wheel unlocked. ESCL was deleted in later models.
Thieves would still have to bypass security to start car. Or just winch it onto a trailer, even if steering is locked.

No. The fob still has to be in the car in order to start.

Depends on how paranoid you are. IMNSHO, if you didn't need an alarm with the ESCL, you won't need one without.
