please compare the by valac generated code when compiling a vala class with and without "this". Right, it's exactly the same, because C doesn't know anything about "this" references. It links the reference to the object anyway when calling the related method, so removing this wouln't have an advantage. Also the scheme I am using for placing "this" references to improve the code-readability is even recommended by some big vala projects, so Imo we should add it to our codestyle-guidelines instead of removing it from our projects.
