I've done this now.

I've also exported the list of headers to display as another nice
customizable option in "M-x customize-group" "notmuch".

For myself, I removed "Date" from that list too. That gives me a very
compact display without hiding too much information.

I didn't do that by default because several people recently said they'd
prefer to see the actual date rather than the relative date that's in
the summary line. I suppose another possibility would be to remove the
Date header by default and provide an option to display the actual date
in the summary-line instead of the relative date.

Someone that wants that could do that to get one more line of message
content per message displayed.
