A native speaker will have to tell you whether “я де…” is completely incorrect, but it’s definitely much less common and probably less natural.

Relative clauses with “that which” or “he who” exist in English, but they’re far more common in Slavic languages (along with others which don’t exist in English like “there where”, “then when”, or “thus like”).

Rather not, it would sound strange without it, however understandable.
