I would just wait on a new gasket. Front cover has a oil gallery in it for the the omp ,omp drive gear and oil pressure relief . Getting rtv in any of them can cause a failure.

Metal Front Cover Gasket ideally, or standard OEM paper, with a thin layer of silicone on each side.

You're asking for trouble with no gasket, that will not seal properly. Fixing that on a running FD with the block in the engine bay ain't fun
