I dislike Jerry, I don't like scenes or episodes with too much Jerry (especially about his love life), and think his character is unfunny and unlikable in a way that none of the big 3 are, even George. He was even outshone by many of the minor recurring characters even: George's parents, Newman, Peterman, Susan, etc.
But I don't know if the show would have been as good without him. His boring normalness and bemused reaction to the chaos unfolding around him. Even his breaking of the fourth wall. Maybe he's a grounding rod that serves to contrast everything else against, maybe he's the character we can see ourselves as.
