Many power racks can be de-powered by elminiating the hydraulic seals in them, which cause drag.
I've never heard nor read about bearing wear due to removing the PS pump and not adding fluid until now. Do you have a source that we, as a community, can evaluate?

So long as it doesn't leak then it will be fine. I've had a steering rack wear down from lack of fluid and now the steering wheel will vibrate and shake on smooth road with good tires.
