There are 2 reasons for rotating crops. One is because different crops deplete different nutrients from the soil and you can counteract that by amending the beds but the other reason is because of disease pathogens or insects becoming prevalent in the soil.
Amending the soil will not kill pathogens in the soil so removing all tomato plant debris will help but if you have plant diseases which can live in the soil, you may eventually see an increase in those diseases by not rotating.
