No. Even with tone off, you will interfere with repeater operations if they are concurrent with your transmissions.
I'd go with these answers: No
If you transmit on the repeater's input frequency without a tone, your signal will be gated by legit users using a tone and you will come through the repeater. You will interfere with the input signal if you are strong enough to reach the repeater, tone or not.
If you transmit on the repeater's output frequency, anyone listening to the repeater that is within your range will hear you. You may interfere with legit signals from the repeater's output even if you are not delivering a full strength signal. The capture ratio matters and your signal strength vs the repeater will determine how badly you disrupt the repeater signal to the listener.

With all of the other frequencies available just pick another frequency. Why interfere with a repeater that everyone in
the area may depend on?
Precisely.
