Can you drive without a front driveshaft?
It’s rather difficult to operate a vehicle without a drive shaft. The transmission output shaft would just sit there and spin. Front drive only vehicles essentially have two drive shafts. Most all wheel drive vehicles would suffer damage if you tried to drive without one or more of the drive shafts.

No, your front driveshaft will not spin freely in 2wd. Your front axle and driveshaft are always locked and spinning when your vehicle is moving. When you engage the 4wd in the transfer case it then gets power transfer along with the rear wheels.

Does the driveshaft spin in neutral?
When the transmission is put in neutral and the clutch is disengaged, the input shaft, clutch disk and countershaft can continue to rotate under their own inertia. Unless the transmission is in neutral or park, any motion of the turbine will move the vehicle.
