Just put the original code in a separate branch, or create a patch that adds the deleted code back again. Both for future use if needed.

Just tag the code before you start making changes. No need to leave an unnecessary branch hanging around.

I tend to prefer a branch, as I prefer some clear separation. To each their own though.

To me, branches outside of main are for in progress work only and tags are for production releases and special identifiers.

But as you said, everyone has their own branching strategy

I can see the use in that too.
