Apparently, it was originally used to support SAP R3 on Linux.

According to Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs, glibc 2.2+ expects to
have /dev/shm available for its internal POSIX shared memory calls.

Any particular reason why you are trying to remove it?

As you say, you can just remove it for now, and see if anything blows
up.
