For the most part yes, you could use the case without a fan without issues if you expect the SOC load to be relatively low for most of the time.
I currently have my fan turned off (ambient room temp 25*C) and the SOC temp reads: 44.4°C, with the tall heatsink on. Its doing pretty standard NAS stuff at this time.
During Plex playback I see temps that go as high at 75*C at ~60-90% load.
Hope this helps.
