Tires are three years old, RE71R Potenza. I attribute the wear to hard driving and sun exposure.
I'm buying a new set but my tires won't be here until next week.

How dangerous is it to drive with this tire?

I know they are worn down, but they grip so well. These tires are known for that but that split is what concerns me.
The small cracks are ready to seperate
I would not drive around on those.
I would not drive on that at all. Sure they grip great, there is a lot of rubber to road contact.
Drive over some dog pee, or A/C sweat, and you might spin out, as worn as those are.

Just drive it. Probably 20% of the cars on the road have worse tires.
Just looks like they were enjoyed by getting hot. Drive on!
I would not have an issue with driving on this tire.
Another vote for driving on. I don't know about the number of heat cycles these tires
have seen, but you're probably fine provided they do hold air and it doesn't rain. One
single track day and they likely look worse. On soaking wet surfaces RE71Rs aren't that
great even when new.

Just stay off the freeway
Have been limping along a rear set of PSS that look similar. Took 4 months for the new tires to show up.
Good gripping? That’s why slicks have no sipes.
That was pretty much my thought as well. Probably not a great idea in rain or snow, but on dry pavement they should be fine for a week I'd think, assuming you don't drive like a maniac.
For a moment there, I thought I was reading something from Dr. Seuss...(I do not like green eggs and ham...)
