I see no grammatical function for grammatical gender, however, apart from making clear which adjective modifies which noun (which is not a very frequent necessity).
Pronominal gender seems very useful in following a story - it certainly gets very confusing when one's interlocutor doesn't reliably distinguish 'he' and 'she'.
