The drive shaft is best removed if the front wheels will be on a tow dolly and the rears on the ground.
Doesn't hurt to remove it to tow in general.
Be sure to mark both ends at the flanges so it will go back in where it was and limit vibrations.

Subject: Towing a Syncro with no driveshaft?

Can a Syncro be towed with the front wheels on the
ground if the driveshaft has been removed?

Thanks!
