It has a CEL so the MDS system doesn’t work. I have no fear it’ll turn on or work in that way, my fear is for some reason it changes the fuel or timing because of the lack of the MDS system and that damages my motor that way.

I don't think that'll be an issue. If the PCM is aware that MDS isn't working properly, and disables it, (and sets a code....) likely it'll just run the motor normally.
