Be that as it may. Frozen pipes can be catastrophic.

Honestly probably better to store some water, run your pipes in a tiny stream, and then if you lose water at least your pipes will be drained.

There are issues with restarting a forced hot water furnace if you drain your pipes entirely.

Issues? You just need to restore water in the circuit and vent the air trapped in the radiators... really
