Ive never read the book and Ive only seen Nosferatu once so I wont get in on the debate...but I had to comment on this point.

Renfield's monologue at that point is easily one of the highlights of the film. Dwight Frye at his all-time best. If they had decided to show it, the effect would have been horrible and looked as bad as the infamous bat scene.
