I often do, to save pages. ... A

Depends on the publisher, I suppose. I see many church anthems, and a
great many _do_ optimize away the the vocal lines on piano solo
passages. Many publishers will do anything to cut down on pages,
including D.S. - Codas that save only 8 measures of print.
Just make the piano only system is very clear on the page. Sometimes
those systems get skipped in rehearsal (or even worse, performance!)
