Unrelated to other dovecot specific questions...
Is there an index file that dovecot-lda updates for imap?
Yes. Which would be the advantage of using dovecot deliver, directly or called from procmail.
Can I just eliminate it entirely and just have procmail do all the delivery?
Yes, you can.
In fact, that's what I usually still use. Procmail can just do much more than sieve. And procmail doesn't scare me as much as sieve. But then again, I like Perl... And I've never yet encountered a problem with dovecot IMAP updating indexes on the fly -- which it does, unless deliver does it incrementally.
However, wasn't your original question about converting procmail recipes to sieve? (Yes, it was.) So what would hold you back of just not converting?
