That's more to protect the oil pan...will leave the alternator, air compressor, etc exposed...and a slight reduction in drag...
Bet you can get the two plastic parts you need for $20 at a you pull junkyard...splash guards do have a purpose...
Very few reports of cars have ever appeared by folks with a broken oil pan...usually after running over major road debris...so an insurance issue.
Some years even use a PS DUCT that goes from the second missing part to the PS pump to keep it cool...
