Is it possible to remove the mali from the configuration

of course, it's just a co-processor on the same internal shared memory bus - don't enable it, don't talk to it, don't compile the kernel config, don't run the proprietary userspace library

or to use the rk3399 in a libre fashion?

probably not, it's one of the high-end T-blahblah ones

I am just curious. And if not, can you make it work?

with probably about 18 months of full-time reverse-engineering, probably. but i've f*****g had it with ARM, the blatantly unethical f***s, trying to bribe people to shut down projects, and blackmailing companies to not pay software libre developers.

so f*** 'em.
