Replacing Budgie panel with alternatives like polybar and completely getting rid of our panels isn't really a feature I'm interested in being supported in Budgie at this time. You would be better off using a purpose-built tiling window manager with floating window capabilities than trying to shoehorn Budgie into that :)
I use budgie mainly due to raven and it being a lighter window manager, and there's no easy window manager that can replace it at all.

Budgie version
budgie-desktop 10.8.2
Use-cases
Some applets are required to be in the panel to start, this would allow applets like WindowShuffler to work without having to have a panel on the screen (useful for people who replaced the panels with custom bars like polybar).
The other use-case would be so people can use custom bars without having an obligatory budgie panel on the screen.
I tried forcefully hiding it with an workaround but it only works when there's no applets on it, hence why I came here to open this feature request.![image](https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/assets/17398632/4e816fa2-8dc7-44cf-8ab3-0f0c11c674b5)
Proposal
An extra option to make a panel always hidden (non-unhideable) to be used with applets like the one mentioned above.
