Can unRAID run headless?

Yes it can, *if* your motherboard can. There are a few motherboards that apparently will not boot without a video card attached. Even if you have to have a video card, you can still run without keyboard and monitor. Some users keep a cheap video card in an antistatic bag, placed in the bottom of the computer case, ready for special use. Some troubleshooting requires seeing the console, especially if networking is not working. If you try to run headless, and it appears to freeze prior to booting, try pressing the key. If that works and it boots, then you will need to re-attach the monitor and change a BIOS setting, something about ‘Halt on errors’. Change it to halt for nothing.
