You can remove everything ahead of the transfer case if you want,lol.My 4X4 hasn't had a front diff/axles or driveshaft for about 6 years and 40,000 miles now.As long as you unbolt the actuator off the front diff tie it up to the steering rack and leave it plugged in,you won't get any codes.So yes you can remove the front driveshaft and drive around,just leave the transfer case in 2 wheel drive mode. I'm old school and like running a big-n-little tire combination,plus my truck is a pavement princess that spends more time at the dragstrip then it does running around on the street,and dropping everything ahead of the transfer case saved roughly 120 lbs,and the truck picked up 2/10's at the track.
I just wrapped mine up in several layers of black tape,lol
