Yes, you can defoliate healthy figs. I think it is a good idea to fertilize the trees well before defoliation to make sure they are strong enough to bud back vigorously.

Defoliation can promote back-budding on bare branches and it will also give you smaller leaf size.

In your country with the "everlasting spring" you should be able to do this most anytime.
