Two thoughts:

Having the metadata so immediately and prominently visible sure does 
invite people to actually use it. Much metadata is never filled in. That 
speaks in favour of keeping it.

Customers sometimes want rich text in the description field. Which 
smells like abuse because of the prominent place. Which speaks in favour 
of getting rid of it.
