The question I have is: How bad is it for the engine to drive around without a CASE relearn. How long can I do that? Is there a chance of the car not working?

That is a serious risk - if the problems are outside the PCM, you will end up with two 'dead' PCMs and in no better situation than you are now. Of course, if PCMForLess can flip you a loaner while they reflash yours, and that works, you might be in good shape w/out spending a lot of money - contact them directly and see.
Getting a 2nd PCM is your cheapest option. Your 2nd cheapest option might be to get a PCM from PCMForLess
and a Tech II to do the CASE relearn, which wouldn't be a bad idea to have because then you could let all those other hummer owners down there know and make all your money back by diagnosing their problems. Other more knowledgeable people can help you in finding one of those, I have no idea.
