Should i keep removing flowers from these babies or is it time for them to fruit? Relatively new to tomatoes

I’ve never removed a flower from a tomato. I really don’t see the point so to answer your question – let it flower then you will get some tomatoes.

I think it’s terrible advice to remove tomato flowers.
I only prune flowers on pepper plants to prevent fruit set from stunting the plant.

I’ve personally never had an issue with early flowers and fruits stunting my tomato plant’s growth so I never remove early flowers now, although I have seen that advice given.
Your plants look nice and healthy! If you find you enjoy growing tomatoes I’d definitely look into dwarf tomato varieties for your next season. They will stay under 4-5 feet tall, require zero pruning, but produce fruit continuously like indeterminate tomatoes and would be perfect for the growing set up you have.
