I think yes.

My understanding of how the script was designed is the following:
- if the disk containing /boot/efi is fine, no problem using it as the
“master copy”;
- if it has a silent corruption problem, we're screwed and the
corruption may be copied to other disks, but that's already the case
with other partitions in a raid (nowadays there are consistency
checks...);
- if it has a problem that is visible enough for the md layer to
remove the disk from the array, then /boot/efi won't be a mount
point anymore, so the script will do nothing from this point on.
Thus, you can boot from another disk until you have a replacement
drive; during this time (and unless you changed /etc/fstab), the
script won't sync anything.
HTH, regards
