The front brakes won't do a damned thing all the time that the rear caliper piston has nothing to press against because the pad has just fallen out - it'll take two or three presses of the pedal going to the floor to take up the gap, and that's likely the difference between ploughing into the car in front or not.
As others have said, fix the brakes properly or don't drive. It's really that simple.
The pad retaining L-shaped bar and the clip that secures it are absolutely critical on the Bendix calipers. With the clip missing the pad retaining bar will slowly work its way out, and once it comes out, there's nothing at all securing the pads and they will start to fall out.
