Driving without the bushings in the shock eylet is not the best thing for them, but no, they are not going to hurt anything. You should be able to find just the bushings though without having to buy a whole new shock. If the shocks are somewhat new, try calling the shock manufacturer and telling them about it. Sometimes they will just mail you the new bushings. A happy customer is better than losing potential business.
You can get bushings at most parts stores also. In the red HELP packages.
If the noise is bad, or it pounds hard, (which may oval the shock eye, ruining the shock) you could always remove it, until it can be fixed properly.
Driving with 1 shock gone isn't bad, more than one missing can add to the body roll.
