The energy needed to excite the higgs field so much that particles are massless would create a black hole.
You will never travel with the speed of light.

the higgs field isn't responsible for (most of) the mass of hadrons anyway.

Spacetime can travel superluminally with respect to itself. Objects on the spacetime itself do not need to move relative to it, and need not excite the Higgs field tremendously.

The alcubierre drive metric still works.

He's right. The higgs field only gives mass to fundamental particles. Most of the mass that makes up your body is from nuclear binding energy.

But if there were no Higgs VEV, that would change the running of $\alpha_s$, and the value of $\Lambda_{QCD}$ would be different.
