You are OK to drive. Brakes will basically be functioning same as none ABS equipped vehicles.

Yeah, I've been driving with those lights on for about 8 months now... it's fine, just no ABS. Waiting till spring to try to clean the contacts.

I just got the !emerg lite and ABS on today. 2008 Yaris with 30,000km, dealerserviced from day 1. Un-freaking believeable. I actually thought this thing would run like a top for the first 10 years.

Since the repair will cost about 10% of the cars value, and the only thing I'm losing is the ABS function, it makes zero sense to repair this.
Have to say, looking at this thread and the fact that there is no recall/repair for a fix, this will be my last Toyota. I've had 2 camrys (93/96) and a Sienna, but if this is an indication of their commitment to quality, I'm no longer interested in the product.

As they say, it takes years to build trust and a moment to lose it. (yeah I'm pissed )
