No... your browser lives... the flash plugin dies.
Without the wrapper... if the flash plugin does something crash-worthy
it crashes firefox completely. The way the wrapper works..flash
dies..the browser lives.

nspluginwrapper development is still important. This is because
nspluginwrapper runs plugins in a separate process, enabling the browser
to survive inevitable plugin bugs, and also the possibility of
additional security through security policy isolation of that separate
process. Fedora 8+ has run all plugins, even native 32bit-on-32bit,
wrapped in nspluginwrapper for this purpose.

nspluginwrapper development discussion here. Please report your problems
running the latest nspluginwrapper (currently 1.1.4) here. Gwenole is
very good about responding to reports, often with patches to try.
If you don't want to deal with reporting bugs, you are free to remove
nspluginwrapper. But then you have to live with the browser crashes.

I maintain a list of tips and workarounds to workaround Flash problems here.
