TCA9803: Can be EN pin left to open?

Part Number: TCA9803

Hi Experts,

EN pin are assumed for below use-case.

9.3.4 Active-High Repeater Enable Input The TCA980x has an active-high enable (EN) input with an internal pull-up to VCCA, which allows the user to select when the repeater is active. This can be used to isolate a badly behaved slave on power-up reset. The EN input must change state only when the global bus and repeater port are in an idle state, to prevent system or communication failures.

If the system does not care about "a badly behaved slave on power-up reset." , can we EN pin be left to open?

We do not want to control EN pin from MCU.
