May turn on the CEL, but you should be able to drive 10miles without much of a problem.

Just didn't drive it long enough for it to realize there was a problem.

Some will throw CELs right away, some won't. You can also get sims for them so you don't have to hook them up to get rid of the CEL.

Our rear O2 is there, plugged into the connector but not screwed into the cat - no CEL.

Yep, 100% fine performance-wise to run without rear O2. It'll just throw a CEL. The rear O2 just reads the difference in exhaust after the cat.
