Un plugging the fuel injector for that cylinder may be a good idea so its not pumping fuel.

It would be very loud if you did. You wouldn't be driving it around like that.

You can unplug the coil, but, it doesn't really matter, no fuel to burn anyway.

I wonder if all that happened was the rocker arm popped out and damaged the lifter bore but the valves and seats are ok.

You still need a new head just less damaged than perceived.
