There is an option in the TDW patcher to disable the uplay requirement. One problem though. It says you can still load/save or create a new career, but career progess will not be updated. I'm guessing that refers to the process where it moves from one part of the campaign to the next (i.e. coastal waters to happy times).

While I can start the game while totally offline, it still wants to open ubisoft connect. As long as i sign into it, even while totally offline, it'll open the game.

I'm still waiting on the hard copy of the game to arrive, but when it does, I'll be eager to see if the game can be installed and played from there, using tdw patch to eliminate the need for uplay altogether.

Best case scenario would be that you could play the campaign from the start until whenever the first stage ends, then start a new career using "silentotto" cheat and select next stage of campaign. Worst case is if you have to reinstall for whatever reason, you're screwed.
