I am setting up a gantry system with 4 axis. I have X,Y and Z set to home,
but my A doesn't have a home switch, so I set the home sequence to -1.
The issue (minor issue) is that I can't switch from joint mode to world mode
unless all axis are homed. I have to manually go to through the menus

Is there any .INI file setting that would automatically mark the axis as
homed?
I _think_ you just need to set the home search velocity to zero.

I made that mistake too. What you want to do is set the HOME_SEQUENCE=0

Is there any way to put an axis back to the pre-homed state? Either
that or a soft limit override?
In EMC 2.3, you will be able to unhome an axis or all axes.
You would think that a jog override for soft limits would be nice. But then
that
encourages sloppy setup and could cause serious damage on a larger machine...

Yes I agree.
I might rename soft limit to safety limit. You should

This is currently how override limits (for jogging off a limit
switch) works, when the right and left limit
