I'm not quite sure what purpose lives still serve either, I wonder why they left those in.

Probably because coins need to have a purpose.

They could just make them another collectable, have 100 per level for players to find. Or use them as a currency to buy items or other perks.

In other mario games, coins can serve purposes other than lives

Lives were so plentiful in Wonder that they didn't really exist. I remember having max lives and max coins, so I just bought a bunch of the poses because there was nothing else I could do.
