AR upper 'features'

I can only wade in AR waters, so I have 2 basic questions.
What is the purpose of the 'triangle shaped' part of the receiver that is behind the eject port ? My WAG is protecton from ejects, but I notice some models don't have it.
My search of posts here report that some users push their forward assist as part of their 'charging mantra'. They always do it and always will. Others of of the opinion that " If I have a failure to feed, I want to clear the rifle of that round completely, not try to push it in".
SO my question is...Are there serious drawbacks if the upper does not have a forward assist ?
As always, Thanks for your time.

The bump ahead of FA is a brass deflector, it basically just deflects the brass forward so that the rifle is less painfull to shoot left handed.
