Yes, you can uninstall it. It only recolect the data from DHCP and DNS records + DC accounts, in order to summary wich account, when, with IP ... x.x.x.x. accessed the network.

The problem in windows server 2016 is that all the dhcp and dns server must be part of the domain.

There are a couple of roles you can assign to other people in order to manage dns for example at one scope.

You can create your own security roles.

Maybe you can read more about this if it really fits your needs.

Hope it helps.
