it is possible that MS can do this but it is on very iffy grounds and i doubt they do.

 

i myself run my box without a DVD drive alot and have never been banned.

 

if MS banned based on the DVD drive not responding then they could have alot of false alarms due to DVD drive failures and continued use as a madia player

Yes there is a risk of getting banned so to be safe do not run your box.
