No serious problem in replacing the thermostat without draining the coolant. Just pull it off and a little coolant will leak out, but that's not a big deal. Put the new one in, refill the reservoir and bleed at the bleed valve. However, it's probably better to avoid any antifreeze sloshing onto the ground by draining about a half-gallon at the drain valve on the radiator.
If you have pets, be sure to clean up the antifreeze that leaks onto the ground before they can get to it.
