Would it be possible or wise, to defoliate one of these trees in early August primarily because they look best in the nude?

Sure it is possible. I defoliate in general for improving ramificaton and leaf size. This species happens to hsve the best ramificaron and leaf size of all tees in Europe. So it is not really necessary.
