Is it possible to leave the panels over the the vents that have fans installed to keep the system quiet? Will this adversely affect airflow to the point that it will run too hot?

I left the front panel on my 750D and temps still stayed down very well.

I think in that instance the front panel is designed to be on, but I was thinking about installing an H100i at the top and a side fan with the panels over the top to keep it quiet.

I can't find any information on how that affects temperatures though

With that case and your proposed setup temps should be fine that is a well designed case.
