Those that are not obligatory, yes, it is permissible to leave them off. The greeting of the mosque is not obligatory, but it is a recommended practice (sunnah), so it is permissible to leave it off. Yes.

And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
