Disabling the egr system will not harm the cats. In general no combustion should happen inside the converters but if raw fuel makes it down there it will ignite because vats normally operate above the flash point of gasoline. This is especially true if you have a dead miss that is throwing Oxygen down there as well.
Look at the 2.9 and 4.0. Both engines were run if factory configurations for years with and without egr systems and no real changes to the cats. Both work fine.
