What would happen to the Empire if Coruscant was destroyed?

Hey, simple question, isn't it?
Probably the first thing to do is give an era. The Galactic Empire has evolved throughout its history, from the day Palpatine declared himself Emperor, to the day he actually died.
In the meantime, the bureaucracy changed a lot. The senate was dismantled relatively late in the Empire's history, it was largely occupying the minds and hearts of Republic aficionados. Moff were put into charge of large swathes of the Old Republic's territories, and progressively saw their power grow. But with one man at the top of the pyramid, the Emperor.
So we can probably separate the Empire into a few suberas, easily prequel-era, the OT-era, and the in between-era.
Next thing to do is assess the importance of Coruscant, notably by what is found on Coruscant, and what goes through Coruscant. This way, it will be easier to understand its role and importance in the Galactic Empire.
