Would it be fine not to do deadlifts?

I'm thinking of not doing deadlfts as it makes me too tired and fatigued, my gaol is to maintain muscle mass

Would these lifts be enough?

Bench press
Row
Squat
Pullups
Shoulder press

That's my tune today, dealing with fatigue from working out my legs.

I'll keep working on my legs. I've know a couple guys though that avoided leg workouts due to the fatigue. It worked for them. One of them was quite popular with the ladies come to think about it.

Srs questions pls

There is no one exercise that is 100% necessary. There's always an alternative for any body part you want to work. The only people that have to do deads are powerlifters and strongmen.

Would just doing squats be enough to maintain leg mass then?

If the exercise is too fatiguing that it impacts the rest of your workout, it might be a bad trade off. Dr. Mike Israetel did some good videos on the topic.

i just heard #3 in the world say that he no longer does them except with light weight.
i am only stating this to show that there are no MUST do exercises.

I really don't do DL anymore myself.

RDL and bent over rows now.

Thank you, LORD, my God.

Heck yeah if you go hard enough, hack squats or leg presses as well.
