Is there a fundamental internet meme that has had such a major impact that it would have notable repercussions if it had somehow disappeared?

Fucking wojacks. Disappearance of this cancer will bring significant benefit to me specifically because I wouldn't have to endure those ugly drawings. Fucking trollface was better than this hell.

Rage comics were better and were actually a modern form of Commedia dell'arte or Masked Theatre, in such that it used stock characters and so plot could be both meaningful but simple. Wojacks lack implied character and context, so story or character depth requires explanation which doesn't usually work as well with that form

Wojacks soyjacks chuds chuddle and chad memes can be really funny

also humor is subjective what you may dislike someone else may like

I am willing to sacrifice all five funny memes you are talking about, if it means I will not have to look at all the "I depicted you as this ugly undesirable wojak saying stupid things therefore I won" bullshit ever again.
