I threw away my english dictionaries and started a J-J deck, though it was mostly to improve my production and strengthen my existing knowledge. I didn't view English as a crutch, but more like a hindrance, and I was pretty frustrated at how bad I was at rewording complex words in speech.

It definitely had the intended effect of improving my production, as well as the side effect of curing some false J-E word equivalencies that I had formed, but the downside is that I'm unable to translate as quickly as before (which sucks because it's half of what I do for a living)

You don't have to make a deck or even do anki, but I think it wouldn't hurt to at least try to wean yourself off J-E dictionaries
