NO, you do need to cap/plug the TRV, they dont always shut water tight and if it gets cold it will pop open.

yes and some trvs have a positive stop and need no cap,but to be 100% sure,i would cap off as i advised.
yes i went to an insurance claim where a child undid the plastic cap on a drayton valve resulting in a scalding incident not to mention lots of property damage.
