In a TTL only use case with no explicit deletes, if read CL + write CL > RF you 
can likely avoid repairs with a few huge caveats:

1) read repair may mess up your ttl expiration if you’re using TWCS
2) if you lose a host you probably need to run repairs or you may not see some 
data after replacement (true in general)
