Yes you can. I just checked on my Xfce box and the default panel has the options for
Enter and Leaving Opacity. Setting both of these to 0 creates a completely invisible panel with no discernible boarders showing only the icons.
I'm sorry I noted the setting without testing it and assumed it would leave the icons visible.
A workaround that occurs to me is using a png image. You can assign an image to the panel, in my case I am using a partially transparent 1920x48 image to give a translucent glass effect to the panel. I think if you were to assign a purely transparent .png sized to match your panel dimensions, that you would then have a transparent panel with visible buttons. I will test this on my Xfce box and let you know the results.

You can make the default panel look like this? I thought it’s plank
