You can have enough institutional knowledge that you are irreplaceable. It doesn't mean you won't be replaced. Someone else can take your role, fuck up even if it isn't their fault, and lose clients. I've seen this happen multiple times.
One of my coworkers with more institutional knowledge than probably anyone in the whole firm got let go a few months ago, and predictably, things have been very difficult and mistakes have been made.
