You could do that. Some factory PCMs disable injector pulse when a misfire code is set. Jeep comes to mind. The downside is continuing to drive it with say an open plug wire, could damage coil or ICM.

It'll run. Like *shoot*. But it'll run. I drove mine as a 4 cylinder for a few miles once. Lol

Definitely drive her gently, and get it fixed sooner rather than later.
