No immediate danger

If the boot is torn, and you're planning on replacing the axle anyway (that's what I'd do), you can drive merrily along as long as the joint doesn't make noise. The worst case scenario is that you'd lose your core refund on the axle when you turn it in.
I recently replaced both axles on a 93 after driving it with a boot that was so far gone it was ... well ... gone. No noise, no trouble. For at least six months.
Not that I recommend it but again if you're planning on axle replacement you can put it off if you must.
If on the other hand you cannot locate a replacement axle then you need to address repacking and rebooting as quickly as possible to save the joint. Driving on it could worsen it or kill it before you can save it.
