I would not plug the overflow hole on any fixture or seal or close the drain shut. Traps that dry out are usually not an issue. I would be more concerned about causing a flood. If you are really concerned about the trap drying out, you can fill the traps with a chemical that will not dry out, but personally, I wouldn't do that either.
