Lua binaries are bundled with Scribunto, so most people don't need to
have a separate version of Lua installed.
I agree that not enough thought has been put into using Scribunto on
non-WMF installations of MediaWiki, but if you want to continue
importing templates from Wikipedia, you'll probably need to have it.
If you do decide you want to completely remove all vestiges of
Scribunto, then you'll need to remove pages in the "Module:" namespace
as that is where the Lua scripts are stored. You'll also need to look
for and remove calls to "{{#invoke" from your wiki pages.
HTH,
