But, since I plan never to use the icemaker again, nor hook it back

in the freezer?

1. Unplug fridge's AC power cord from wall.
2. three screws hold ice maker to the side wall. remove top 2
screws.
3. While supporting icemaker with left hand, remove bottom
screw.
4. As you lower the icemaker you'll see an inline 'molex' type
connector with probably 4 wires. Unplug connector.
5. Remove icemaker from freezer. Securely tape openings
to the connector remaining in fridge.
6. Plug fridge back into wall.

If not, is it "safe" to leave the icemaker "on" even with no water
connection. Or will it use tons of electric, burn-up, etc.???

Safe, yes. Not tons, perhaps a few ounces. But why not
restore the water supply? You don't like or use ice cubes?

To restore the water line, I would have to install a new one and I
don't know what malnourished person they got to put it in originally,
but there is no way I can even get within 15 feet of where the water
supply line comes out of the kitchen and into the crawlspace under the
house.

So, for securely taping the connections, regular electrical tape?
And, the big question (since I can already hear my wife) will this
leave a big ugly hole in the freezer with exposed wires?
