I assume we can remove the responder policy after patching but it's not mentioned anywhere - I've asked our ATS.

If you applied Responder Policies to mitigate CVE 2026-88779, as directed by Citrix Support, leaving the policies in place after upgrading to the software updates specified in the security bulletin for CVE 2026-88779 will not impact NetScaler functionality negatively. Upgrade the firmware and once the NetScaler is rebooted, the responder policy may be unbound and removed at your discretion.

Thanks for the response! Now to convince my skeptical engineering team and clients, heh.
