Is it possible to run my 2012 3500 4WD without the front drive shaft in - until my U-Joints come in?
I need to make a couple deliveries (200 mile round trip per delivery) before I can get the front U-joints changed.
One of them is squeaking on occasion.
Or will it throw the trans into limp mode or other code issues?

I can't give you a 100% for sure answer but knowing what I know I don't think it will be an issue at all. I don't think there are any kind of sensors that would even know it's not there. Unless in 4x4 the transfer case is "disconnected" and the drive shaft is just being back driven by the front axle.
