The overflow box has 2 purpose. 1- skim the top portion of your tank, to get the oily film that floats on the top and increase your protein skimmer's efficiency. 2- reduce the noise that having just the pipes will make.

Just putting the pipes with a strainer has been done, especially in frag tanks. If water noise is not an issue, then go for it.
