All I can really say is I've run without a filter for years without any disastrous effects; generally in the UK or Europe though where I wouldn't rate conditions as severe.
There is a much greater risk I think, on downdraught carbs at least, from small objects (e.g. dropped nuts and bolts) falling into an open intake during maintenance.
