If you want to "recreate" all of it, add it back in is your only choice. I'm much less sure that it won't break anything though, even if you drop the +3, GURPS has lots of detailed combat rules that have been retuned without it.

If you just want to improve your active defenses, that's not likely to be a very serious problem, but you can buy them all up in 4e anyway. It's the "Passive" part I worry about more. Though the "cheap" increase to Dodge may have undesirable effects on the relative (in)effectiveness of character concepts that are built around being lightly armored - remember 4e also lacks some of the stuff 3e provided to boost Fencing.
