What else can I do to neuter it to avoid possible problems?

I would say:

+ delete the paths from this server to the library

drives.

That ought to keep you from overwriting tapes.

If you get errors about failed communications attempts, I'd consider
that not a huge deal.

In this same vein, is there a simple way to remove the current
instance and install/configure another one?

My firm opinion on this is that you _want_ to wipe and rebuild when
you reinstall.  You ought to have your configuration control well
enough in place that this doesn't occupy a lot of human time.  And if
it's not quite there, each burn-and-restart iteration is another
opportunity to improve the automation.
